Dear God. I pay a bit more than 400 EUR/mo, my employer pays a bit less than that, and my employer is delighted for me to take sick leave if I've got a cold because guess who pays my sick leave?
My health insurance.
(Germany, "public" insurance with one of the 150 or so "sickness funds" those of us in the 90% who have to be on public insurance can choose from)
Does your insurance also cover the rest of your family? As a single person I pay around $600/mo for insurance (a Kaiser silver HMO plan). Adding dependents will absolutely drive up cost here.
