Finding A Job With Health Insurance Benefits Is Not As Easy As It Used To Be
By Ethan C Kalvin
The ideal is to find a job that includes health insurance as one of the benefits as most people don't want to have to pay out of pocket for an individual health insurance plan. With the rising cost of health insurance, however, more companies are choosing to pay a slightly higher salary to their employees as opposed to paying for their health insurance.



If you are in the process of looking for a job then you have probably noticed that the number of jobs out there is significantly low and the number of jobs that are offering health insurance benefits is nearly zero. Even if you are lucky enough to find a job that offers you some health insurance benefits, chances are you will have to pay at least a portion of your health insurance premiums yourself.

Employer based health care plans are not what they used to be either with a majority of employers finding that they can not afford to keep employees covered under the best health insurance plans and that they have to settle for plans with mediocre coverage just to make it seem like they are still doing their part. Even back in the 90's health insurance

through an employer was still top of the line health care coverage but now in 2010 more employers have cut back on the type of health insurance benefits they offer and this is a significant difference from what it was before.


Employees need to be prepared to foot either a portion or the total amount of their health care premiums. Many younger and healthy individuals are taking a major risk by not having any medical coverage and hope they will not find themselves in need of medical assistance. Unfortunately, if something does happen, the medical costs can be exorbitant.

No one can say for sure what will happen when and if the U.S. government institutes its health care plan but it is very likely that more employers begin to drop this expensive benefit and allow their employees to take advantage of the communal health care plan as well. The results of these changes remain to be seen, however if you are currently seeking employment it is still a better deal to find a company that offers you even minimal group health insurance benefits as opposed to paying out of pocket for your own health insurance.
