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.
Interesting too that adding a spouse is 2x your own insurance.
Take the “entire famlly” rate and subtract the “you+children” rate. $56.27 for just the spouse.
I don’t think this should be the case, of course, but it “makes sense” that they don’t subsidize it. OP’s spouse is not an employee, therefore not as valuable.
