[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is ridiculous.. no one pays that for insurance.  I cover my family and it's no more than 1100/ month with low deductible. Take the time to find a new job. This is NOT typical.[/quote]
Never had a job with 401k, health insurance, or any benefits in nearly 30 years in DC. Imagine being told to get one that has those those things, but better ones.[/quote]

Actually, this is quite typical for a job at a smaller company. My husband and I both work for smaller tech companies and these are the kinds of plans available to us. If/when our smaller tech companies are bought out by bigger tech companies, we'll get better insurance, I hope. The difference between the haves and have-nots keeps getting further and further apart.

A related thing I noticed is that I have a coworker who needed a really expensive prescription drug. And the drug was actually cheaper to buy with a Good Rx coupon instead of with insurance. So how exactly is insurance helping your average, non-millionaire these days...?[/quote]

The reality is that employee premiums through [I]most[/I] employers tend to be much lower. The average for a family in the US is $533-$625 per month. [/quote]
