[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my family thinks we get free health care too.  When I tell them how much our monthly premiums are, they don't believe it because it's higher than their family premiums in the private sector by a lot.  They think I'm exaggerating because they had some relatives work for the federal government (of course 40-50 years ago, but I digress) who didn't have to pay anything or something really minimal (their words).  This is fly over country and I've heard it from several different relatives in different states.  I'm sure a lot of people outside of federal service believe it too.[/quote]

Do you mind sharing what your premium is? [/quote]

Not pp but they're posted online. Everything we have is very transparent:

I have VA Kaiser high which is a very basic plan and generally the cheapest insurance. Kaiser is known for being no frills. For myself it's $274.80 a pay period. So $7144.80 a year. DH isn't on my plan The family plan is $632 a pay period, $16,432 a year. [/quote]

Huh?  I searched that plan for non-postal feds that are paid monthly (to keep it simple) and the premiums are $168 and $423 a month.
