Thats true- after taxes they take home about $75k, maybe a bit more


High deductible plan (cheapest plan is $3k individual/$6k family deductible) at my office costs a little over $1600 per month for family coverage. Assuming you need to cover the deductible you need to put $6k in an HSA,or $500 per month.

$2100 per month is $25,200 or about 33% of the family take home. Folks making $60k and taking home $50k would need to spend half of their income to get family coverage based on the same numbers.

Maybe the individual market through Obamacare is cheaper than the group plan bid to the market at my office,but I am guessing our rates are pretty competitive.
