If you think US Healthcare is anything other than an embarrassment, you're delusional

How much of your premium is being paid for by your employer?

My employer pays nearly 500/month for my insurance which would hit your 12k mark in 2 years.

You're saying you're paying 166 a month to cover yourself and your wife and have laughably low out of pocket expenses.

Either your employer is paying 90% or your insurance premiums or you're full of shit.

Technically my premium for family coverage is $175 and yes, my employer pays a good deal. Good point however, I guess for your situation, McDonalds doesn't pay as much of the overall premium for hourly line workers.

The overriding point of my post is that if you move past the wait times and general statistics that people here will twist to whatever point they want to prove, here is a real example from the past 6 years of what I've paid and my experience with the health care industry in the US. Health care services in America are high-quality, they are on the high-side of affordable for a wide majority of Americans, costs overall need genuine reform, and the figures of 2 year lower life expectancy than the top nation or somewhat higher infant mortality does not mean that health services are not excellent and that all Americans are suffering under the repressive weight of this overly burdensome healthcare system. Cost reforms vs. overall system reform.
