These guys are helpful and a better option than the gub'ment run exchanges (gub'ment = fucktards) IMO
They rank/rate based upon options customers really care about, then link you directly to the providers
company provided plans are usually better bargains than private. You can compare coverage and cost including out of pocket and deductibles against your company provided coverage [Reply]
If they’re supplementing it at all it’s likely better than you can get elsewhere. There is some non-insurance group cost sharing stuff that sounds a little too good to be true ish, but no way I’m doing that.
If it’s bad enough start looking for a better job. [Reply]

Ehhh. I just got a pretty massive promotion. I'll stick it out with shit health insurance if needed. :-) [Reply]
As others have said, you're very unlikely to find a better deal than your company-provided insurance.
Are you in good health? You might want to consider (if they offer it) a high deductible HSA plan. A lot of companies contribute to their employees' HSAs annually and your contributions can be pre-tax. If you can swing it, an HSA provides multiple tax benefits. And it typically comes with lower premiums. [Reply]

This, and only this.
Unless your company has zero employer cost share (very doubtful), you simply are not going to find a better product/price on your own. For what it’s worth, you can see how much your employer pays vs. what you pay on your W-2.
