Well, health care premiums have been skyrocketing at something like 15% per year, right? That is at least what I recall larger employers bitching about for awhile.
So even an individual rate as low as $200/mo. two years ago would be $260 today.
As I understand it, the family rate is based on four people. That would mean that my plan, as a family plan with no discounts in place would be $1,040
or more per month in today's numbers.
$800 to $1000 or more sounds about right. I am no good talking about family plans because I ended up with a company full of gays (purely by accident).
Although I cannot discuss family plans, I can divide whatever they're offering by four and see if it still makes sense.
