I was talking with our HR person at work and we were talking about what to do with those who opt out of the insurance offered by our organization. Currently, people who opt out, like myself, receive no increase in pay... I simply stop having to pay towards the organization's insurance. She was looking at putting forward the idea to give employee's an increase in pay that matches, or nearly matches, what they were paying for an individual to be insured.
I was curious what your various companies/organizations do.
I dropped my coverage at work after the end of 2009 and went on my wife's insurance. Her family coverage was better, especially now that we have a little boy, and the family coverage from my work was way too expensive. I think my check increased the amount I would've paid to insurance since it was taxed from my gross.
