How much do you pay in health care?

[Dougles]

"The average cost of family health-care coverage more than doubled from 1999 to 2008, from $1,543 to $3,354, according to a report by the Institute on Medicine released Tuesday."

What is NYS doing? As a single healthy male my health insurance is $4,000! And a familly is over 10k! How can some states insure a familly of 4 for this??

They probably do not have as many welfare recipients (that are also medicaid recipients) as New York State.

But how does that affect how much BC BS would charge me?

I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about state funded health insurance.

Are you self-employed paying your own health insurance?

No my company pays 60% of it for me!

Dougles: That's sounds really high. My husband and I pay $116.00 a month through his company and we have BC BS

Yeah but how much does he company cover?

[Enough]

We pay $3,120/yr.

On health side we pay 15%, company pays 85%

On Dental side we pay 25%, company pays 75%

We take the wife's health and my dental, just because it was a better deal that way. It varies, some years my company has a better deal, some years it's better through her. One thing they've been doing is raising co-pays to off-set the cost increases!
