I am not sure if it is where I live or what, but I just discussed employee status with my company, and they wanted over $450 a month for health insurance for a very high deductible plan (5000 family) with a copay (20%).  I specifically asked if the company paid part of that, and she said yes, 50%.

I went online to e-insurance and priced out a comparable policy, and it was around $200 a month for a family high-deductable policy with an HSA option.  How can it be that a group policy costs over 3 times what an individual policy costs?  Or do the companies fudge a little bit when they say 50%?  I find it really hard to believe that my company will not give me any kind of raise but will automatically pay $5400 a year towards my insurance without batting an eye.  (BTW, the other option was $850 a month which would put them paying over $10000 a year for insurance).

What am I missing here?

 see in the packet about difficulty premium and pay, but is every single dictator being assessed and listened to somehow and who is determining the difficulty?

Family coverage is not $1000 a month in premiums.

I saw an add posted on another forum and the address was Ohio.  Totally strange.  Indian-owned - - I will not apply.  Thank You! 

WOW! This is absolutely ridiculous!  There are some really unhappy and mean people on this board.  It really isn't anyone's place to point out grammar/spelling mistakes.  I get emails all the time from my supervisors I work for with typos and incorrect grammar and puncuation in them - WHO CARES?  I do it as well - I am more relaxed in my correspondence, but when it comes to my job, I am extremely conscientious about it.  That's how I make my money.  And the companies know this.  They aren't going to fire you or dock your work because you left off a comma or used an elipses in the wrong form.  I also have a side business where I deal with the Mayor, City Council, and various others in government and they all write like me too! 

You posters who scream and belittle people for things like this really have issues.  Major control issues.  Get some help and leave the rest of these people alone.  Take a yoga class, do some meditation, go for a hike, have a couple cocktails - do something to relieve the stress and unhappiness in your lives.  You can't control the world, honestly.  To the posters who are like me and just relax when we write because we aren't getting paid to do otherwise, keep it up!  I definitely keeps the stress level down.  Don't let these OCD'ers and control freaks get to you - and most of all, don't get sucked into their pettiness.
