So UHC came to my job to pitch their plans for the employer health insurance. They wanted something like $1400/mo and I guess enough people complained because a new email just came up for $1000/mo.

    I’m at about $600 for my wife and I. And still have a too large of a deductable, co-pays for Dr and prescriptions. Fuck the US health system.

      I only have my wife and I covered in my employer insurance plan and it’s about $80 biweekly. And I have the highest coverage. I’m Canadian.

      My wife and I are both healthy and middle ages but that sounds ridiculously expensive.

      $683 a month for me and my kids. And that’s less than half the total cost, which my employer pays.

      Thankfully it’s such a small company everyone has the same insurance plan so it’s really good insurance.

        Before Medicare, I paid $1500 for a mid-tier Kaiser plan. It had a $6000 annual deductible which I kept in a tax deductible Health Savings Account. For the most part, I paid for routine stuff like vaccinations, yearly checkup and bloodwork, meds like statins, and a bid discount on stuff from their pharmacy. With Medicare, I pay $185 to the US Government and $199 to Kaiser for their Advantage plan.
