$2,000+/mth cost for family coverage! This company is completely failing its employees with monthly medical premium costs. Playing games too with associate only premium costs to make sure the plans are ACA safe harbor compliant. What a joke and they expect loyalty when wonder why there is no trust.

I don't even know why people stick in this dump. Ever since my store closed I am doing much better than before. I make way more money and my health insurance is actually affordable and good. I am paying $50 a month and coverage is solid. People whine and cry staying in this POS company.
I pay $400 a month for a family of 5 at Walmart with a $500 deductible and $4 pr-scrip-ions. Get a new job.
Sears managers are weak and thieves..
$2000-$3000 is the actual cost of an average health insurance family plan. Somebody needs to pay this bill.
You are working for a near-bankrupt company, what are you expecting?
Unbelievable. The lowest paid workers get soaked for the cost of medical insurance.
I don't even remember paying a premium for insurance when I worked for Sears in the 80s, if there was one it was pretty minimal. I have an actual grownup professional job with a decent salary and my premiums are less than $200 a month for my spouse and me.
Also illustrates why employment status should not dictate whether you can get medical care or not.
Sears used to cover the first 7,000.00 of medical insurance and then the employee would pick up the rest. This was around 2018-2019. I used to pay almost 1,000.00 a month for BC/BS silver plan back then. Assuming they stopped providing the 7,000.00. After making yearly co-pays the total cost was almost 16 to 17,000.00 per year for the family. This along with no pay increases, no 401k match and a host of other issues made me determine it was time to move on. As long as Eddie is in charge, the average employee is behind the 8 ball. I think he feels he's doing them well- by providing employment .... and that's about it.
My costco insurance is $20 a paycheck with a $250 deducible. S—s to be you.
If you live in California check the rates on Covered California. Before our store closed myself and a number of other employees found better coverage for less money there.
Obama care rates are the same, They just want you to leave, I left when they hiked it to $800 plus a month, wow, why work if your paying 2Gs for c-appy coverage.
This is the rate for an active employee. So you think it is reasonable for someone to pay $2,000/mth for family coverage with 70/30 coverage and $1500 deductible. Come on get real, Obamacare rates are even better than this.
If you're talking about COBRA that's pretty much par for the course. If you're still employed by the company and you're talking about your own payroll deduction, consider this: the cost of insurance is determined by the number of participants in the plan. How many benefits-eligible employees does Transformco have left?
