They never should have stopped the old one. My company paid the majority of it, so I never thought about it. I would expect that a lot of middle to high earners had the premium covered. But now with all of the cost cutting, I am betting that companies are not going to pay this premium.
I am ok with adding something like this, but they really need to up the threshold for assistance. I remember the old policy was not terribly helpful to those in the lower income brackets. It seemed the minimum income was much too high.
