Government Employees Subject to Larger Health Insurance Contributions

Custom HealthCare, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which has been offering insurance services to individuals and businesses since 1973.

Richmond, VA (prHWY.com) November 5, 2012 - Richmond, Virginia - According to the Labor Department's National Compensation Survey, paycheck withdrawals for insurance coverage, including Virginia insurance, are now on equal levels for public and private employees alike - around $425 per month for family health coverage.

Several factors have come into play to equalize employee contributions. Struggling state and local governments are saving billions of dollars by placing the burden on employees by raising worker contributions. As a result, the percentage of full time government employees paying nothing for their coverage, including Virginia insurance, has dropped, from 39% in 2007 to 30% in 2012.

Government workers in certain states have seen a reduction in their health insurance benefits over the past five years - from $1,523 in 2007 to $891 in 2012, according to federal data. However, governments still provide more generous benefits than private employers in terms of smaller copayments, lower deductibles and more options.
