Company healthcare probably should be more expesive then regular healthcare.
I pay about $100 a month for healthcare that i got myself and i get some amazing benefits.
Think about it Company healthcares are negotiated both with their union/employees and insureres. Which means companys are locked in to whatever they agree opon for the length of the contract.
While me. My old insurnace jacked up it's premiums by like 50 dollars within a year. So I canceled and signed with a competitor who offered more benefits for less money.
If companys get their rates jacked up. There isn't much they can do. Furthermore when the contract is up. More often then not labor leaders insist on keeping the same insurance because they want to keep what they're used to. At GM they had Blue Shield... when Blue Shield didn't even exist anymore!
Also private healthcare is priced for... people who don't have jobs with healthcare. Which more often then not are crappy jobs.
