About 140/mo family of 4. HDHP. Thanks to my company.
Have close to 20k in HSA now, due to US being lucky healthwise the past few years.

Unsubsidized insurance costs are outrageous. No wonder people don't retire sooner.

I own my own company and mine isn’t free. How you do that?

Company pays for it all. If I was self employed or something, there is NWIH I will pay $1500 a month for insurance, that's like mortgage for a 250k house. frick this horrendously expensive system, and ignorant people defending it.

True. I pay full cost of my family’s healthcare. I guess I should’ve specified that in the OP.

What? I own the company too and the company pays for my insurance but at the end of the day it's my money that's paying the policy.

I posted $446 per month but I'm well aware of the full cost. My employer actually includes it on my pay stub. The full cost of ours is $1380 per month.
