idk man I just need to vent i guess

my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)

that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill

why?

    So, you’re saying anyone in Germany with an above average salary is forced to pay 400$ out of their salary for their healthcare insurance? Isn’t this exactly what OP complains about, or can you not logic at all?

    Did I or OP say anything about out-of-pocket? Do you actually know anything about the insurance market and do you realize that your co-pays are only that low because this forced system exists?

    looks like it’s not only our US friends who knows jack shit about how universal healthcare works
