$23,817 for family of 3. And that's offered through wife's public school employer, where supposedly they're all screwing over the taxpayers with their "free" health care.

Are you sure that isn't line D? Line D appears to be 401k contributions plus company match.
Looks like the gubmint wants to see how much we're putting away for retirement pretax as well as track how much is being spent on healthcare premiums and the rate of increase, although that can be skewed by plan changes.
It doesn't all come out of the check, per se, but the way the contract negotiations work, they agree to a package that includes salary and health benefits. The cost of health care that's supposedly covered by the employer actually isn't, because then they just lower everyone's salary by that amount. It's a shell game. Bottom line is, they claim the teachers (and principals in my wife's case) make X amount, and that amount is 24 grand less than they take home before taxes if a family of 3 is on there.
Yes, they do have a pension. We'll see if it's still there or not in 20 years. Not holding my breath.
