If the average school teacher has to pay 12.8% of there health care insurance. And that averages to about $200 a month. Then they have a cadillac insurance plan. Cadillac insurance plans run around $26,000 a year per family. Around $8600 per person.
Examples: Linda is an elementary school teacher. Although she only makes $35,000 per year she has amazing health insurance. She recently had to go to the emergency room and only had a $50 co-pay. From: http://personalinsure.about.com/od/insurancetermsglossary/g/cadillachealthinsurance.htm

Ooops that would be 12.6% not 12.8.

One thing that is not often mentioned is that many Wisconsin teachers get their health insurance via a no-bid situation THROUGH THEIR UNION - that's right - the union is in the business of providing health insurance coverage.
And not just any coverage - it's way more lavish and pricey than comparable plans. Again, it's another way to launder money to the unions, and THAT is why they are screaming.
They could bring their health care costs (and by association, their contributions) down merely by seeking quotes from other insurance plans.
