Health insurance co-pay

Co-pay and cost are two different items when you're talking insurance talk. Co-pay is what you'll pay for a doctor visit. Then you'll have deductables for the year. Cost is what you pay to have the insurance and what I've seen for a single person that should average around $50 a month but of course it all depends on the company and what the benefits are. $88 a week is way too high IMO.

 

I think the term co-pay gets used for both scenerios......... you are paying part of the insurance cost and/or you are paying part of the doctor visit........

I cannot speak for trucking but I know in different professions people pay $100 - $500 per month for their "co-pay" portion of the monthly insurance premium...........

Some may pay even more....... I don't know anything about what insurance costs if you go get it yourself but I am sure it is EXPENSIVE!

Realize that top-of-the line health care insurance with all the perks (medical, dental, vision and prescription) costs a company $10,000 - $12,000 per year for each employee! Yep...... $1,000 per month, per employee......... and that is if they are part of a larger group buying together!

Wanna make money? Go into the insurance business.........

 

I pay about $68 a week for my son and I. $25 office visit, $100 ER visit and $1000 deductible.
