"Health care for a family covered by a large employer cost, on average, $22,885 last year. That's $2,000 more than the sticker price for a brand-new Volkswagen Beetle.... Roughly $15,000 of that $22,885 comes from employers' contribution to their workers' premiums.... Workers chip in an average of $4,706 per year premiums, and then spend an additional of $3,020 out of pocket. Combined, that's almost 4 times more than the average family spends on gas in a year."  MORE >>
