Just out of curiousity...

is there anyone reading this who is a full-time employee of a company (or knows of a person who is) and, as such, received in their benefits package full health insurance coverage *without paying any premiums*? In other words, are there actually companies which pay employees' entire insurance premium costs?

I've never encountered this before and one person in a community is insisting that it's actually very widespread in the US, and common in fields like high tech (zir words, not mine).

So, educate me.

i worked at one company that paid all of my premiums. it wasn't a tech company, and as a matter of fact, was a temp agency. i wasn't a temp, i worked as an agency employee, but yep, they paid it all for just over two years. i wouldn't say it's widespread, though.

chris works for a big ole tech company, and even if it was just her on the insurance, she'd still have premiums.
