How much does the teamcare medical insurance cost

I just got my card in the mail. I'm a PT package handler. Based on what I've read online its "affordable" which is good. Do I get something taken out of my check on a monthly basis or? This is the first job I've had that offered insurance so I don't really know what I'm doing.

 

No you don't have to pay for it.

 

it is good i tagged you in here to answer this persons question

 

That was very helpful of you.

 

the union apparently is not

 

I'm not sure if it is more appropriate to reply on this discussion or start a new one. I have a similar question though... Is it possible to pay out of pocket for the insurance prior to the 9 month requirement?

 

We wouldn’t have our health plan the way it is without the Union.

 

There is no provision for that in the contract.

 

Thank you.

 

To give you a general idea what retirees have to pay to continue their Union backed health plan, mine will cost $707 a month for 2020. At the rate it has been going up in the last few years, you can expect to be paying thousands of $ a month by the time you retire.

 

Just got a letter in the mail today

mine will stay at $200 for me and $200 for my wife for 2020

 

They shouldn't be allowed to raise retiree healthcare once you retire.

 

$150 single/$300 married

 

That is actually a very good question and should be an option.

Perhaps that should be changed.

 

We have essentially just begun the clock on the best contract ever. See you in four years.
