Stability is a plus, but the HDHP insurance plan poses significant financial risk for families

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Stable work environment and meaningful public service mission.

Cons

The HDHP medical plan could be improved. While a 20% coinsurance for prescription drugs is understandable, there is currently no cap on out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions. In comparison, my previous employer’s HDHP plan also required 20% coinsurance but had a reasonable monthly cap, which helped limit family healthcare expenses. The lack of a cap here can significantly increase the financial burden for families who rely on ongoing prescriptions.
