Would anyone be willing to share how much healthcare costs per month are in the US? For a family of 4 and how much your employer pays? Moving to the US and want to be prepared for the sticker shock!

My contributions are $700 per month for myself, my wife and my kid. My company covers the rest. The way it works here though is you have rates for yourself, you and your wife, or you, your wife and your kids (doesn't matter how many). But be warned, as much as you pay in premiums, you'll still be paying when you go to the doctor. Insurance covers a lot, but you still have to meet your deductible and out of pocket maximums before they'll cover everything. I have good insurance but still had to pay $3000 when I had foot surgery. But then because of that, when my daughter had an emergency appendectomy the same year, we paid only $150 because we'd already met our out of pocket payment maximums.

I pay $500 ish / mo for three people. Me, wife, kid. It’s a really low deductible.

851 per month for three of us. Top of the line plan. Agency covers the rest. Dental and eye vision not included.

It really depends on what your company offers, and within that there are usually options that range from higher upfront costs to lower monthly payment but higher out of pocket cost if you need it.

Depends on the company you work for. I was paying $800 a month for me and my husband at a holding company agency. Now I met an Indy and I pay $400.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
