What is the average monthly payment for health coverage for a family of four? two adults, a 1yr old and 3 year old?

My son in law does not have full medical coverage through his new job and my daughter told me he pays $1200 a month for medical coverage for the family. I told my daughter that I find that very hard to believe. Could it be true?

We always had excellent coverage through my husbands carpenter union so I can not relate. Asked by LouLou 41 months ago Similar questions: average monthly payment health coverage family adults 1yr year Business > Financial Planning.

Personal health coverage is usually more expensive than group.....and insurance companies generally charge higher premiums to insure those who have higher health risks (in the extreme, insurance companies downright refuse to insure people who have been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases). According to a survey by Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2004, the average cost to insure a worker and his/her family was $9,602 (including both employer’s and employee’s contribution). That figure was based on a sample of medium-to-large-size employers.

Throw in four years of inflation (remembering that healthcare and education inflate much faster than virtually anything else) and the fact that your daughter's family is insured individually rather than as a member of a large group associated with an employer or a union, and $14,400 a year doesn't look all that unlikely, especially if one or both of the parents smoke, or someone in the family has a chronic condition, say, asthma...

2 My father pays for my brother's family insurance. It runs $1300 a month for three kids and two adults, and has a lot of exceptions and limitations.

3 I pay $640 a month for our family of four. No maternity coverage anymore because it isn't needed, but everything else is great. My brother pays $1100 a month for his family of 3 and my father pays $1300 for my mother and himself.

Does anyone know what the average monthly cost of grocerys for a four member family.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
