    If you want a comparison for at my current company:

    Insurance through what my union negotiated with my company is about $90/mo for dental/vision/medical. $200 annual deductible on medical.

    Insurance from my company if I had a non-union position here is $300-400/mo. $1000 annual deductible on medical

    This is for a single person btw.

      My wife’s total insurance bill this year (union) for the full family is $390/month (full family) for the most expensive and inclusive plan. Deductable is $1500 for the family. They also have a fully sponsored HSA of $2K/year to cover these costs and the option for and FSA.

      Our total out of pocket expense for this year will be around $7k.

      Last year we where on my insurance through a non-union company.

      $1350/month, $4K deductable, and $7600 HSA funded by me. Total cost for insurance last year was around $24K.

      Most of our medical costs are for my wife’s medication for a chronic illness that costs $75k per year. Don’t get me started on how hard it is to get the bastards to pay for it every year. I spend on average 6 weeks every spring to get the insurance to authorize paying for the drug
