I investigated the cost of my health care in retirement as a part-timer and was unpleasantly surprised to find that it is now $350/ month for one person (and this does not include dental or vision care). I also inquired what the COBRA cost would be for the identical coverage, and it would be $427. Since the company charges its full costs for the COBRA coverage, what the employee now must pay for the UPS health benefit is getting close to the full cost of COBRA.
