Took my current job on the promise of decent health insurance for my family. But I was shocked when I saw the actual plan. Insurance for myself, my wife, and my child the deductible is $10,000. No copay. BCBS. My contribution out of my check every 2 weeks is 600+ for medical, dental, and vision. When I get paid 3 times in a month I pay 1800+ in premiums.
I live in a relatively low income state in the south where 75,000 is far above the median household income. Basically the premiums are about 36% of my income before taxes. And that’s after my “significant raise” in January.
This is crazy bad right? It seems like my company picked the worst plan they could offer to avoid a tax penalty; while knowing that the burden will fall on the employees.
I’m applying to other jobs with an emphasis on healthcare plans in every interview. Luckily it seems like my skill set is in high demand.
