Going Fulltime and paying for health insurance because of young age, who else pays for health insurance? We plan to domicile in FL. What are the providers being used?

There is a small minority( relatively speaking) Like Big Kanuna, us and some others that have posted. To be part of this special group you must be.
1) old, but not old enough for Medicare.
2) Not have insurance through an employer
3) make to much for any government help
4) but not enough to be "rich"
As a part of this lucky group, our premiums for lousy coverage are now about 20% plus of our household income.
Because we are a small minority, no one cares much. But if the average American,
was paying those kinds of rates, for what is basically catastrophic coverage, and not some Cadillac plan. I would bet things would change pretty quick in my opinion.
We are part of that minority category also. We are 60 and 62. Our "affordable" health insurance is anything but, and pays for very little. Monthly premiums this year were $800 and $1,100. Of course we all know 2018 will bring another increase.
