Ask HN: Does your company offer medical insurance for your spouse?

Yes. We have a choice of 4 plans and pay part of the premium for personal coverage. Family coverage is available under any of the plans but costs significantly more, and the company’s contribution to the premium is fixed. So the employee’s premium cost increases.

In most cases I’ve personally seen, it’s offered but it requires additional payment. The employer pays a fixed cost towards your benefits and any plan you select that goes over, including for additional dependents, require extra pay.

I’ve never worked at a company that didn’t offer family coverage, whether they pay for it or not varies it.

But, people get too emotional about insurance costs. It’s just a number that you have to take into account when calculating total comp.

A lot of companies do i believe. Salesforce and Microsoft are two which i know of. Its included in offer.
