Damn, Elvis. You need to lay off the gold...glasses and crowns...
Same here, but even though the company paid portion went up more, the employee contribution did too.the other thing that pisses me off is that they DRASTICALLY lowered the amount you can set aside for a flexible healthcare spending account. Used to, you could set aside up to $5000 pre-tax to cover prescriptions, dr appts, and so forth. The years we knew we would have a lot of medical bills, like for a surgery or when I was pregnant, we would set aside more. Now the max is $2000. I have to have a crown next year and will also need new glasses. That $2000 won't cover it.
I don't think most queens have to pay for crowns. Check with Vv on this.
