Heidi Cochran - Kingman, Arizona

Kingman, Arizona

My job offers health coverage, but because I am listed as a "flex" employee (part time) the charges per paycheck are $190.00. The insurance for flex employees also only covers 50 percent of the bill. I am listed as flex, even though I work 45 hours per week. I can't afford $380 per month for medical, so I only go to the doctor when I am very ill. I work in Arizona which is a right to work state, so that means that I can work 45-50 hours per week and still be a part time employee. I am currently looking for a new job that offers reasonable benefits even though I love my job and my manager is fantastic. My company is willing to lose a good, loyal employee to save some money on benefit payouts.
