If you’re self employed or have an individual plan, you already know. If you work for an employer with group coverage, most likely you don’t. I suggest becoming knowledgeable by asking your HR department what is the total cost of your health insurance and other benefits (life, dental/vision, disability).
Why?
One, it’s good to have a reference point as to what the cost of your benefits actually is.
Two, if you are terminated, you’ll know how much your COBRA benefits will cost. Be prepared.
I believe tHese costs should be on every paycheck. Yes, I realize your portion of the benefit is on the paycheck, but I mean the total cost (employer plus employee) of your benefits should be on every paycheck.
