Those are annual totals right? That's not so bad, although compared to last year it isn't so good. They let you take it out pre-tax too right?

It's pre-tax except for the long term disability. It's not so bad compared to other corporations, but there has been a huge internal information compaign within the company over the last few months telling employees not to worry: Although the flex credit will be eliminated, the total cost wouldn't change much -- only slightly to reflect increasing costs in health care. An 86% increase seems to be more than slight to me.

I'm assuming here that you are single? I think your coverage is dirt cheap. I pay $380/month ($4500/year) for family coverage. And that only covers 90% of medical expenses and comes with $2000 deductible.

I imagine the costs for 2006 are inexpensive compared to the average of all other companies, about average when compared to other companies in this sector, and high compared to what we're paying this year.
