You should know you really have exceptional coverage -- that is pretty much unheard of outside of public employees or some very large employers.

Your plan would be just unaffordable for the average employer.
The "someone" paying the rest of the premium would be our school district.
This would also mean that it's being paid for, in part, by taxes.

I know we have exceptional coverage. I worked elsewhere before becoming a teacher. I know how much it costs for coverage if your employer doesn't pay for the bulk of it like the employer I have now. Like I said, I helped with the bargaining for it. I was on the exec. committee of our union.

What I'd like to see is the people I teach with realize that as well when all they do is bitch and moan about a higher copay being deducted from their paycheck.
