Feels absurd for me to be paying $400 a month to my health plan from my employer.

Ask your employer how much THEIR portion is.

That $400 will sound like chump change.

$400/mo is nothing considered to private and open market

^ agree! If you want to know what your employer paid for YOUR health coverage look at your W2, Box 12, Code DD.

(Note some employers may be exempted from this reporting).

Just you or family plan? HDHP or PPO? What % do you pay after deductible is met? Too many factors to consider if this is absurd or not….

like

So many variables go into the pricing of coverage.

1) Whom are you covering? (Just yourself, or are you including dependents)

2) Is the plan Self-Funded (the Employer pays for your claims and owns the medical plan) or is it Fully Insured (Insurance Company pays the claims and owns the medical plan)?

3) What is the Plan Design in terms of Deductibles, Coinsurance, Copays, etc?

4) Does your employer offer any discounts that can reduce your premium? If they do, are you utilizing them? We offer a wellness program that can take $100/month off for employee coverage and an additional $100/month for the spouse participating. Entirely optional, but that is a lot of money on the table when people don't take advantage of it...

If you’d like to look at a less expensive health plan offered by a nonprofit that is disrupting the insurance industry, please DM me.

When I was working, I was paying $1,200 a month for a family plan and my employer was paying just over $1,000. This figure is very typical.

I pay about that a month not sure what my employer pays i think its the same but i have an extremely high deductable which will never be met so its like im throwing money away but i have to have it bc of being divorced and the court says i have to have it

That’s seems to be in the normal range,your employer must be paying twice or thrice that money..

The only way to escape this is to get a government job. #Facts

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back. I know I would benifit from some ADHD medication but my Dr won’t prescribe any with my history of BP (controlled with BP meds). Anyone else gone through this? Any tips?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Teaching has taken over so much. I’m a wife and mother and still have a home life, but there is nothing outside of work and home. I have no friends, no other activities, no escape. Covid restrictions do not help. I know it’s not healthy to only focus on everyone else, but I’m not sure what to do about it. I have only sporadic time opportunities and I don’t even know what I enjoy doing anymore. When trying to do other stuff I can’t turn off mom or teacher brain.
