The third plan costs $7,000 for the employee and $3,500 for the spouse and $3,500 for children. It has a $250 deductible for the total family each year. After that, insurance pays 95%, with 5% co-insurance.
As an employee of the company, which option would you take? Explain your answer.
Consider the probability of using the health services, the total expected cost of the co-payments, and the tax status of all of the expenses.
HINT: The premiums ($9,000, $11,000, or $14,000) can be paid with pretax dollars, as an income tax avoidance method. In all three cases, the employer pays nothing.
