In the US are forced to pay more when they work over 30 hours a week. Over 30 hours and you are considered full time and the employer is required to pay for health care. The historical accident of having healthcare attached to your job due to war time wage freezes turns out to cause lots of problems when that cost becomes a double digit percent of your wage. Seems impossible to change and we seem to just keep forcing more companies to provide healthcare instead of breaking the link.
- supertrope 4y agoYeah. The actual cost of an employer group health plan is $7000 per year. If the employee has a family that's $20000 per year. Usually the employer pays for 80% of this and the remaining 20% of the premium is paid by the employee. That's another $2-9/hr.
