I currently pay 27 dollars twice a month for just myself. I’m looking to add my spouse to my insurance plan. If I add children it increases my premium to 190 a month, if I want my “whole family” covered it gets increased to 245 a month.

Why am I not able to just add my spouse for 55$ a month?

This is some bullshit. Thanks America.

Addendum: Just heard back from HR, this is working as intended.

    Thats incredibly cheap for a whole family (if this is medical) just FYI. I know it doesn’t feel like it but I used to work in insurance and thats about what you would end up paying. Except most policies are around 100$ more for family at the very least.

      Yep I pay an outrageous $1100/mo for my spouse and I. The coverage isn’t even that good. Looking to shop around this year because that big of a bite out of paycheck really hurts, but I suspect I’m not going to find any better.
