The health insurance pays for 80%, you pay 20%

For a pharma company I really expected the best insurance. It was top notch 3 years ago and now it is very frustrating. The cost to employee is reasonable but if you aren't a heavy user of health care, expect to pay most of your doctor bills yourself.

Monthly premium is low but deductible is $3500/yr and then coverage is only 80/20. I am contract and had wanted to become an employee but cannot afford this. My contracting firm offers better coverage than this!

You pay a lot for not a lot of coverage. The only positive is Merck drugs being free.

I can see most doctors, mental health providers, dentists, and chiropractors in the area.
