a school system employee is NOT paying that much for HC! Have you NOT been paying attention the past year or so?
Please tell me you are being sarcastic.
If not, did you look at the Boulder Village, Colorado link?
My brother works in a rural school system in VA. He pays almost $600 a month for family coverage.

600 is modest. 2 incomes that is peanuts to cover a family. What are you complaining about? I doubt anyone is paying 1100. The average in the private sector is 7k/year. If they are truly paying 1100, then they got screwed by whoever negotiated that one.
Edit: They got screwed on that negotiated deal. Here in NJ where things are ALWAYS high priced, it isn't that much.
Notice that InformedConsent and others aren't responding to your post. The fact that a school system employee is paying between $600 and $1100 a month for a family in healthcare premiums doesn't support their argument that we are all pampered and living lavishly.
It's less than I'm paying. It's also less than most other non-union families are paying, so, yes, that benefit is lavish.

I never said it high or low. I am responding to those, and you are one of them, who throw out general statements about school employees such as, "Who else gets 100% of their healthcare and pensions paid for?" That is my complaint. Don't think that everything is as it is in NJ.
