Does your employer charge you for Short Term Disability?

You're not implying that if employers didn't have to pay the healthcare that the employees would all get a raise are you? Or that if employees had that money in their hands and could go get their own health insurance that they would be better off are you?

Depends on your company I suppose. We got out of the healthcare business a number of years ago and paid higher wages than any of our competitors. We took the money that we were paying for health insurance and gave it to the employees. The young guys were happy as hell but the older folks wasn't all that happy but understood. We never lost an employee due to our health insurance policies. If they were hurt on the job they were covered by state industrial insurance which we paid.

What l am saying is you get NOTHING from your employer for free. Everything you receive is calculated into the amount the employer can afford to pay for your labor. You can look forward to paying for your own Obama Care. Neither your employer nor the government is going to give it to you for free if you have a job or assets. Nothing is going to change other than the quality of care you receive and the cost. You guess which one will be the lesser?

The OP pays $60 a month for single coverage thru BC/BS...

I pay, for Family Coverage with BC/BS, $43---A WEEK. And that is 17% of the full premium...I, as ALSO the EMPLOYER, pay the additional balance.

Um, the hard cold facts are, you're fortunate to have any benefits at all, fortunate to have a job at all and stop whining over $20.

If you don't like it, there's a big world out there with unlimited job potential. Go forth and conquer.
