My boyfriend and I both just got full-time 40-hours-per-week 9-5 jobs. This is after 5 years of working in bars and restaurants while going to school. After I graduated we both got jobs and 3 months later our employee health insurance kicked in. I've never been covered by an employer before but I was surprised when I learned that it would only cost me about $1/paycheck for health, life, and dental. My boyfriend's health insurance kicked in a little after mine and his costs him $40/paycheck! Why does his cost so much more than mine? We both work for private companies, though mine is a bit bigger than his, neither are extremely big. What's the difference? Is his company just cheap?
