How much of your insurance premium do you pay yourself?

[CountDeMoney]

I have a dental plan under my COBRA policy, but I've always kept a pay-as-u-go plan in the back pocket for the last several years since many small employers out there don't always offer dental with their health plans and I never knew where I'd land, so it's always been a $45/every 3 months insurance back up.  Gonna need it January 1.

That's a strange way round

As a premium, I'd agree with you, but 50/50 plans aren't uncommon here in the US; the premium's lower, but medical bills are split right down the middle.

Yeah, most people don't even have a clue what percentage their employer pays;  they just know what dollar amount they have to pay themselves.

I pay 100% of the cost for my medical and dental (me, wife and 2 kids) for a grand total of ~ $1,700.00 per month.

Maybe he has it taken directly out of his paycheck.

That's standard.  It then shows up on your pay advice.
