How much of your insurance premium do you pay yourself?

Prompted by sbr's comment in the other thread.

I pay like $83 biweekly for single coverage, which I do not consider a great deal.

COBRA, so it's 100%.  $490 a month, single coverage.  Ends December 31st.

I'd have to find out what the employer's contribution is, so I don't know off the top of my head.

Let's see...

I pay $100 biweekly for all the maxed out family benefits I could get.  Enhanced medical , drug and dental.

Basic health insurance of course is free in this country, but you have to pay for the extras...

I'm not asking for your contribution as a % of total cost, just a $ amount.

Re-reading my question i can see that might have been unclear.

You mean only health insurance right?



If so, then nothing.

I pay $202.45 bi-monthly for myself, Max, and two of the kids for health, vision, and dental.

Yes.

Deeply flawed OP Yi.

Since I've chosen not to to purchase health insurance, not a damn penny.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Nothing.

I am not really sure as it is mainly notional.  We have employee contributions so that the benefits are returned to them tax free but we make up the cost to them in extra wages so that the cost is net neutral.

Ok, last year it was like $130/mo for both of us.


Now we just get a grant of $3k at the beginning of the year and all costs over $5k are covered 100%. Whatever we don't spend of the $3k we get to keep on December 31st.

And you guys pay zero for that?  Schweet.
