$50.34 a month
"The average cost of health insurance is difficult to measure precisely. The mean cost in 2008 of insurance from an employer was $4,700 per annum for an individual, and $17,700 per annum for a family of four, according to Kaiser Permanente."

lol. that's rich.
did you pull that out of your ass or mouth? i can't tell, they look the same to me.
my employer based health care plan at one of those kushy desk jobs was about $50 a month, $600 a year for basic coverage health care insurance.
how you came up with $330+ per month as the average rather than the top top top end is beyond me.
I'm not going to read 53 pages, so tell me why are you using an invoice from 2009? Is that the last time you worked for a paycheck?
As anyone can see, Bucky Biden thinks his measly $50 per month employee contribution is fully covering his employer provided healthcare insurance plan, what the knucklehead doesn't know is, the actual plan is costing his employer 6-8 times as much as his $50 monthly contribution. Which goes directly to the heart of my initial question, where is the rest of the money going to come from now that I as an employer can pay the penalty which is much lower or let my employees pay their own tax which is now, thanks to ACA is completely affordable for them?
UB, that is low. My hubby and I paided $783 a month for Blue Cross. It had a $2,400 deductible, then 80/20 for the next $4,000.nope. i worked in fall of 2009, spring and fall of 2010, and the first four or five months or so of 2011 but no health insurance.
did beenthere totally own me by showing me how individuals pay almost $400 a month on average for basic health care? i mean, not even my wife, who has a pre-existing condition and had to buy health care on the open market, not through any employer, only pays about $220 or so a month for her premium plan. and beenthere wants us to believe that it costs $4700 annually for an individual.
fail by beenthere and his ultra-reliable source "ezine.com". lol.

Sorry, if I can find an invoice without having to unbox things I've packed I'll scan and post it.
Edit: When he went onto Medicare my single person policy jumped to $836 for me alone.
don't make me bust out my wife's health insurance. $220 or so a month for a premium plan with a pre-existing condition on the open market and not through any employer.
just admit you're out of your element and grow gangly, sickly yellow twigs.
I have no idea what a "premium" healthcare plan is or costs in Oregon, but I can tell you this, you aren't going to even come close to touching one in California for less than $500 a month, $1,400 for a family plan.
As far as growing goes, I'm not one for posting pics and journals on forums but I might make an exception. When you can average OVER a gram/watt, I'll listen, until then, you're just another newb with a big mouth.

Well Bucky Biden! LMAO
whatever you say, buddy. we've established you are a liar, so i'll go ahead and let you believe what you want to believe and live in your own little angry world.
i never understood these people who set up these elaborate systems, like aeroponic vertical grows and the like, to get over a gram a watt. i just drop a clone in some dirt and put it under a light and voila, two months later i have rent on a tree waiting for me. why fix what ain't broken? i keep it simple.
Of course you don't understand Bucky, that was my point all along!
still nowhere near $400 a month, and still doesn't explain my wife's $220 a month plan.
i'll shop around today for quotes to make you look even more chicken littlish with your ridiculous claims about the costs of basic coverage.

and my outdoor plants don't end up looking like sickly, gangly, abused yellow twigs. my gram per watt ratio is pretty awesome out there. it's probably well over a thousand grams per watt. it doesn't cost much to keep a few fans going out there.
Yes, he was/is ill. Made worse by the doctors.but isn't your hubby on his death bed or something? no offense, i just recall you posting about some medical bullshit he was unfortunate to endure.
the average person buying insurance is not paying $400 a month for a basic plan, sorry.
i'll shop around for open market insurance for myself today and let you guys know what rates i find on basic coverage.

Do me a favor and price that out in MI too. You'll be stunned. What do you mean by basic?
Its cheaper for the employer to dump it, pay the 2k fine and let the employee pick up the 5k tab
