In the district where I last taught, I paid 10% of the cost which amounted to about $90 a month. Currently I am retired, and I pay $857 a month for health insurance and another $80 for dental. That takes more than one half of my monthly pension. I have had to return to part time work to survive because of the cost of health insurance after 40 years of teaching.
No wonder health cost issues are paramount with the American public!!

I teach in a private, independent school. I have to pay 1/2 of the premium, which means I contribute LOTS. For a middle of the road family plan, about $650/mo. OUCH, hurts to write it.
Every year it goes up. This year I switched from the best to a middle, higher co pays, etc. Health Ins. is taking my raises each year.
I just received my Masters in Technology. I think it may be time to look at a new school maybe for just that purpose.

If I want basic insurance just for me, I don't have to contribute anything. If I want a higher amount of coverage for myself, or if I want to add family members, then I have to pay in an amount. Our dental insurance is optional and costs me about $35 a month for me and my family. I am in Texas.
