We have to pay for our health insurance just like any other profession.

Yep....we gotta pay just like everybody else....here's something I found a little "funny".....my husband can insure our whole family(4 of us) for less than 1/2 of what I could thru my employer !!

So, no....we get no special breaks in that area.

I should be more specific. My husband is a teacher and it would cost us $570 per month to be covered through him. How much are nurses paying for health insurance?

Depends on your employer. For example, I have paid as little as $13.00/pay period (that's just coverage for me). With my current employer, I pay $82.00/pay period (once again, that's just coverage for me). However, it comes out of my pre-tax salary, so I do receive a little bit of a tax break on this coverage.

Most plans will charge about 3-4 times that amount for family coverage.
