I spoke to a retired secretary today. She pays $155 (25%) a month for her contribution to her health care premium, which doesn't include co-pays, deductibles or prescriptions. That seems reasonable until you realize that she gets $1000 a month for a pension. It also seems reasonable if you don't realize she was paying 15% a few years ago, and health care costs for the City and consumers keeps rising.
Where will it end? Hopefully she won't turn to a life of crime in the Canal District to pay her medical bills.
