I think your coverage is dirt cheap. I pay $380/month ($4500/year) for family coverage. And that only covers 90% of medical expenses and comes with $2000 deductible.

It's not so bad compared to other corporations, but there has been a huge internal information compaign within the company over the last few months telling employees not to worry: Although the flex credit will be eliminated, the total cost wouldn't change much -- only slightly to reflect increasing costs in health care. An 86% increase seems to be more than slight to me. It’s pre-tax except for the long term disability.
