We pay $1400 per month to cover 2 people (the family plan) with my wifes health plan thru work (singles pay $125).  Any person with more than 1 pays for a "family" plan.  it's $1400 for a "famiy" of 2, and $1800 for a "family" of 3 or more.  What a rip off

Plus there is a co-pay for your Dr., a co-pay for the E/r, and they only cover 80% of the first $8000, then 100%, unless what you have is not covered.   

So yea this family is very much supporting a national health plan for this country.

The health insurance cost have increased by 80% since she started working there 8 years ago, or about 10% per year.  Which is a lot more than the cost of living increase she receives or inflation rates
