I’ve known how much my company pays for my health insurance since before I started there. However, it didn’t really register that the quoted amount was per pay period – which means twice a month, not once per month.
That difference means that I have a freaking “Cadillac” health plan that Obama’s going to tax to kingdom come.
I have an HMO. I go to the doctor maybe four time a year and don’t have any prescriptions that aren’t for acne. I would love to be able to buy an insurance plan that only covers really huge things (car wrecks, cancer, having a kid) and pay that maybe $1000 of medical expenses a year that I normally use out of a health savings account and be able to keep the rest. But no, it doesn’t work like that. I can’t choose how to use the money I earn with my work that way. It makes me so freaking mad.
We are getting screwed people, screwed.
