I pay about 9.5 % I have myself and 3 kids on the insurance. Cost me 440 a month. If I added hubby would be another 400.

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?

I pay $135/2 weeks to insure my wife and I, through my company. That's with a $2000 yearly deducible, and $30/Doctor visit, some procedures covered, others not (cost us $150 for an Ultrasound).

I would have hoped for better insurance, considering I work in the Healthcare sector - but unfortunately since my company is a contract Security one, they give us lower wages/benefits than any other hospital employees including cleaning/food service staff (not putting those jobs down - they provide a valuable service, but on the other hand we get paid less and are the ones that have to restrain violent patients who have Hep B, HIV, etc and aren't afraid to try to bite/scratch/spit on us).

Married to my USC Spouse in the UK 08/17/2006

I pay $233 a month for family medical...doesn't include dental. I calculated and I am paying roughly 16% of my income for insurance. That's for the state health benefit plan. Supposedly some of the best state benefits around. :blink:

Okey dokey.

My employer just passed out the new plan at work today.

Out of six plan choices, the family package that also offers a prescription plan that would SOMEWHAT cover my husband's medications would cost me --

wait for it ----

34% of my gross earnings!

omg. RJ, since he is still a citizen of the UK, would it be more cost effective for him to fly back home, see a doc there and then be given long term prescriptions that he could take to the states?

Can't be done.

When you avail yourself of the NHS, you give them your National Insurance Number. If the number has been inactive a while (because you've been out of the country and not paying taxes) you have to prove you have taken up residency again.
