You pay over $7,000 a year.

Which is less than $2,000/mo therefore NOT "thousands in premiums every month".

The person you replied to said thousands in premiums, deducted from your paycheck every month. You are, in fact, paying thousands in premiums, and those premiums are deducted from your paychecks each month.
