When I first hired in, all medical care was completely paid for by Ford. Within a couple of years that changed. First came a small medical insurance monthly premium. Ford said we needed to ‘have some skin in the game’ and that it was only fair that we contribute a portion of the costs. Shortly after came the deductibles, co-pays, annual max out-of-pocket costs, coinsurance, the out-of-network gotchas, etc, etc. By the time I retired, the total annual cost for me and my wife, including premiums and assuming one reaches the max out-of-pocket cost came to about $7,500. Being in our 60’s when people are more likely to need medical care, we spent that whole amount last year.
