What your employer obliges you to pay directly is arbitrary. What matters is what percentage of your total compensation from your employer is healthcare costs.

I highly doubt that number is only 2.5%.
- cagey 5y agoData point: I just switched from FTE to unemployed (likely transitioning to retirement) and am leveraging COBRA to pay in full to retain my former employer's High Deductible Anthem PPO plan (plus dental plan and VSP) for a family of 4. The COBRA monthly pricetag is $2093. While employed (at this Fortune 300 company's San Jose, CA office), I was paying $425 per month out of pocket for the same set of plans.
