I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance - eviltoast

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?

    Then that doesn’t sound “equally expensive” if it’s discounted for everyone that needs it discounted.

    Not when the option in the US is “then don’t have healthcare”
