idk man I just need to vent i guess

my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)

that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill

why?

    Or more. A lot more.

    I pay $700/mon for a family for health only, not including prescriptions, dental, or vision

    Employer contribution is $1600/mon

    That’s insane

      I’m surprised large companies haven’t pushed back on it.

      I didn’t know much about that side of the insurance pyramid, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about the companys part fighting it in the news.

        It usually looks like cutting plans, and the adoption of high deductible plans
