COBRA is $1,4560. ACA is $700/mo. Are there any other options?

We're recently uninsured due to my wife quitting her job. Her employee healthcare plan covered us both. The facts about us:

38yo Male

  • Healthy, no pre-existing conditions, no tobacco use
  • Self-employed, no health insurance options (that I know of)

33yo Female

  • Healthy, no pre-existing conditions, no tobacco use
  • Sees an OBGYN 4x/yr for birth control
  • Sees a mental health counselor 8-10x/yr

Other Things to Note

  • We would like to have a child within the next 2 years.
  • We expect her to find new employment soon, but we are unsure if it will be part-time, full-time, or even offer healthcare benefits.
  • Married filing joinly, our AGI is anywhere from $100k-$200k (last year was $140k).
  • We also would like a dental plan that offers two cleanings per year, each.
  • Access to an HSA would be great, but not a requirement.
  • We already have about $60k in our HSA.

Her previous employer's COBRA is $1,460/mo for both of us. When I looked at ACA plans, the cheapest was $700/mo with a $17k deductible and a $18,400 out-of-pocket max. These two choices both seem ridiculously expensive.

What are my other options?
