That is the company part, plus my share. There were only 5 of us left in the plan, youngest was 50.
Each, including spouses had some kind of pre-existing.
Insurance companies raise rates, young healthy people (like the OP) drop out, because they can't afford it and don't really need it.
So rates are raised again, more drop out, on and on until it spirals to where ours was.
This is why I say the system is broke, and such a large percentage of our population do not have health insurance.
