How much do you pay per month in health insurance?

[Fumbleweed 547]

I am considered self-employed even though I work for a school district. It is a contract that is separate from their certified system.

 

As such, I pay for all health insurance out of my own pocket. Family of five- I'm 36...my wife is soon to be 35 with three kids.......8,5, & 2.

 

I currently pay about $560 a month in health insurance ($1000 deductible) and about $75 a month for dental for the three of us.

 

Just curious if that's about what you all pay......I think it's about $160 a month apiece for my wife and me prior to adding the kids to the plan.

About $275 total for the month for me and Mrs. TBoy. That includes medical/dental and we get free vision.

when I was self employed the family plan was topping over $1100 a month - it was killing me.

Now union dues includes Family Health plan - $60 a month

Are you asking how much of my hard earned money I spend to insure my family, or how much of my hard earned money taken in the form of taxes goes to buy healthcare for people who don't provide their own?

[SouthGeorgia 2]

Blue Cross /Blue Shield with maternity and a $3000 deductible and it pays 80%...$360 per month for wife and baby.

[DuckStupid 40]

Depends on how many pay periods are in that month.

Altho I am mostly retired I still sell Health ins from time to time. The $ amount of the premium is meaningless without know ALL the policy details. From what you said Fumble, what you are paying is not out of line.

 

As an insurance professional I can tell you that you are paying about half that again for all the uninsured people as well.  By uninsured, I mean ghettoites and illegals.  And, it's going to get much worse before it gets any better.

one of the best blue cross blue shield plans: $140 a month co-pay...but i won't tell you what my employer forks over on my behalf in premiums. you'd shiat your pants that also includes the dental and vision parts.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Exactly.........

 

And the focknuts in DC want to add 12 million to the "non-paying" population so they have a compaign slogan to run on in '08.

last may and september I paid 3 times.

[phillybear 366]

Nothing. Blue Cross Blue Shield Personal Choice. Government job.

 

I might not have gotten any raises the last 3 to 4 years, but at least I don't have to worry about health insurance.

[edjr 6,592]

I just checked my pay stub.

 

me and the girl have our own seperate insurance, it's cheaper that way.

 

we pay approx 100 a month each for dental and medical

Nothing for medical, nothing for dental.

[parrot 789]

Our 80%-90%/300 plan runs from $165.00 for a single person in their 20s up to $520 for a family.

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

Covering medical, dental and vision, I pay $135/month for my son and myself.

 

I thought this was high, but it's not bad at all seeing what some of you are paying!

[joneo 556]

About $50/ month of Union dues covers mine. I do have co-pays for RXs.

our health care system is no doubt a complex and messed up situation that I don't believe will ever change for the better....but except for Michael Moore, most everyone on earth who needs serious medical help comes to US...if they can.

[Kopy 570]

$132 a month. For me, my wife and daughter. This takes care of 80% of any bill thrown our way.

We also get free vision exam every 2 years, and free dental cleaning every 6 months.
