Employee benefits typically cost companies 3X what your salary is.

Your employer is supposed to provide you with something telling you what they pay monthly for your insurance. My company sends a document to my house 1 time every year and on it it say's that companies are required to do it. My company pays about 1800/ month for my family coverage. I pay 0. This is why I belong to a union. Health insurance is such an important issue to us, that we would strike over it, and have done so in the past. One reason we went on strike in 98 because they want retirees to start paying a huge portion of theirs.
As a side note, I think one reason health care cost, and insurance rates are so exspensive has to do with useless procedures. Does anyone elses dentist send them a letter around October letting them know the year is almost over, and they have x amount of benefits that have been unused and will dissapear if not used by the end of the year, but to hurry up as appointments are running out?
