~1%. Not including employer's portion. Small non-startup company in NYC. High deductible plan via TriNet.
Last place (small startup) was 0%. For the PPO. Smaller startup. Also TriNet.
Maybe the employment market for engineers is tighter in NY than SF? Or the competition includes more traditional companies that are accustomed to fully covering insurance? Or more company founders/execs, instead of being fresh out of college, are older and have families and want their own insurance covered?
Or I'm a cheapskate and choose the cheap plan?
- pravda 10y agoThere is no "employer's portion". It's all your portion! Part of the money you earn gets redirected (tax-free) to the healthcare industry.
- cauterized 10y agoYes and no. I'm not getting that money either way, whether my employer decides to spend it on my health insurance or not. Regardless, the OP was discussing percent excluding the portion the employer covers. I'm not particularly interested in any particular discussion of why and how the American health insurance industry is a clusterfuck. We all already know that and the points would take all day to enumerate anyway.
