Your new contract award of Health insurance

Just a question here.. How is that working out for you?

Happy or disappointed?

For, me as an RCA its a big bonus. The insurance itself is still not great, but at least I'm not having to pay $550/month for two people. (I think thats what it was, but might be off). Now, its down to $75 or so. I'd rather save on marginal insurance any day.

I will get the free dental cleaning next week.

As a regular, and forgive me if slightly off topic here. I'm disappointed, especially when I see that city carriers pay half of what I pay.

I reluctantly swapped to blue cross since the single increased 50% in price. Now my premium is $60ish now instead of the $80 it was.

$180 for family, blue cross was $183...
City family plan is $90.

Great deal. I hardly ever use it for myself as is but my wife was able to take her and my kid off and jump on mine and we save like $400/month

Why are they allowed to pay half?
That doesnt make any sense. Our jobs are just as grueling if not more than the city side

They have over twice as many members as us. They have a path to career. Seems we're made up of middle age and older. While their career prospects attract younger folks who don't get severely sick. We abuse subs, and when they go career 15 years later, their bodies are worn out and require big ticket surgeries.

*this is my semi educated guess.
