      I'm glad I don't have to deal with the crap that JB and Scott do.

      We have a high deductible plan. Company pays the bulk of it. Plan costs $4336, I pay $715.
      Then, instead of having to pay the typical high deductible, the employee covers the first $2000, then the company picks up the rest from $2000 - $5250.
      Toss on that because we are enrolled in a high deductible plan, we can use a Health Savings Account that we can contribute up to $3400 (2017) making that $2K deductible tax free.

      This is on BCBS. The included benefits are pretty decent. I'm pretty happy with our plan.

        @dbeato Sorry to read 😞 But I cannot say I'm surprised.

        Yeah, I have been paying for my own insurance the last two years and it is crazy.

        I have been buying insurance direct since 2010. It has never been like this until the ACA.

        Why do you go direct rather than through your employer?

        Just, really? WTF

        It’s been a while since I’ve ran numbers, if your employer is willing to truly give you 100% of your pay and not deduct their costs for the group plan, then it could make sense buying your own plan.

        FFS, it is not a secret where I work or how many people work here. I've said it many times.

        You do not buy group insurance for a company of 4 full time people. It simply does not happen.

        Actually, I had no idea your employer only had 4 full time people. 😛

        Well we do.

        And I am paid a nice hourly rate to compensate for buying my own healthcare. But that was comparative to January of 2010. I've had rate increases ($1.50 (little north of 3%) this year in fact). But it does not keep pace with this stupid ass shit.

        Now your situation makes sense.

        Yeah, now that we know. I guess sometimes we should read minds...

        Or maybe I do not realize how long some of you have and have not been here. It is not a secret, and to me, I seem to regularly mention it.

        If asked, I could tell someone that you work with Bundy Associates (sp?), but I wouldn't have known it consisted of only 4 full time people. I knew it was small, just didn't know how small.

          It's funny because we were talking about how Charles Manson death hoaxes were such a common thing yesterday. Then he actually died today.

                You just can't fix stupid, but you can let them blow themselves up. This ought to be good.

                                Now this is really cool and will really showcase where these kinds of devices can be super important in the future of medicine once they are collecting lifetime baselines of our medical data.
