[quote=Anonymous][quote]Partner in a small/medium-sized firm. [b]The firm subsidizes associates and staff, but partners pay the whole cost of insurance.[/b] A small fairly small pool (made smaller by the fact that anyone who has another ER plan option from a spouuse chooses that option), a couple of bad claims experiences, and poof - ridiculous premiums. Most ER plans are heavily subsidized by the ER, and most people don't know the true cost of their insurance (although it's typically not as high as mine, it's much higher than they realize). Large pools of insureds also make a big difference. [/quote] This is because partners are self-employed for tax purposes; they own the firm. The employees are paying a portion, while their employer, the firm, pays a big chunk of the premiums for them. The partners ARE the employer; they are not employees of the firm. Therefore each partner pays the full cost of his/her insurance. [/quote]
