[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early retired Biglaw partner here.  The firm let me stay on its group health care plan when a left around a decade ago provided I keep paying the entire premium, which for my spouse and me is $1400 a month for a high deductible plan that includes both medical and dental.  When I left the firm they were still heavily subsidizing associates though.  Things must have really changed. [/quote]

shocking to me.  I never worked in biglaw but I worked in regional firms and now am a fed.  My firm paid full tilt for associate health insurance, and it was excellent insurance. I was single then so I did not have dependents but I believe the firm did not pay for family coverage except for equity partners.

Now that i am a fed they pay what they pay now matter what plan you pick. [/quote]

No firm pays for family coverage for equity partners so you’re wrong about that.  By definition equity partners are owners of the firm and are on the hook for all expenses themselves [/quote]

Well, this is what I heard through the grapevine at my firm.  I was never a partner (equity or otherwise) so I don't have firsthand knowledge.  Again this was not Big law so it may not work the same way, or, its possible that the firm was organized differently than how biglaw firms are organized. [/quote]
