Stowe works as a pediatrician for a company in The Woodlands but has a state-licensed consulting company, H.E.A.L, or Health, Education, Advocacy & Literacy, with herself and her mother, Dr. Maria Stowe, as the sole employees. So she was able to buy a new policy in midstream.
The monthly premium for herself, her son and her mother is $2,113. That's almost four times what she previously had paid for herself, Isaac and her husband. Maria Stowe is on Medicare; the premium for her supplemental coverage more than doubled, to $680 a month.
