From BTP.com:
JetBlue is privately insured. 2010 SEC filings show that the company pays in the neighborhood of $6000 per employee while the rest of the industry pays closer to $7000 per employee. JetBlue has been shifting the increasing health care costs to the employee since 2004, when David announced that "owning your own health" was important and high deductible health plans were designed for the JB employee by his brother Stephen. Next year, we are anticipating that the HDHP Minimum deductibles will rise to $1250 for single coverage and $2500 for families, while the maximum out-of-pocket limits rise to $6,250 for single coverage and $12,500 for families. In other words, the cost to be on a JetBlue plan will increase more than your pay scale increase of 2.2%!
Enjoy that no voters. Worst medical in the industry.
