Please, for the sake of honesty, which I know you are such an adherer to, correct your friends when you here the rumor that teachers don't pay for health insurance.

Teachers in NYC pay for their medical thru their union dues. He pays $120 month in union dues.

eta: The reason that your wife probably pays that much for health is because school districts are so small, they pay higher for premiums for health. DH gets cheaper healthcare because it packages all its city employees - so many people paying in = better cost.

You sure about that? My wife pays dues in addition to her medical..maybe it's 150 a month, not a paycheck. Either way, it's more than I pay working for a private company on LI.

Because this thread has again caused people to engage in insulting behavior. I am closing this thread. Please try to be civil to each other. If you must criticize a post, attack the idea, not the person .
