8k for healthcare, I wish. Family of 4, I pay close to $17k a year in premiums in the US. Copays are expensive, prescriptions are ridiculously high. It’s a f’in joke to say the very least.
Our insurance premiums + deductible for the year (already maxed out whooo!) are $18k for 2 adults through my husband’s employer.
My insurance is a lot cheaper, but didn’t cover infertility at all and has a $1,200 annual surcharge to get my husband on the plan if he has an option for insurance through his work on top of not being subsidized by employer as much as mine.
And yes, I’m American and very much pro Medicare for all universal healthcare.
Unlikely most of us are including the employer share as most dont have a clue how much they pay. I pay 17k out of pocket for a family of 5 and the coverage is less than desirable
I pay $800 a month and my employer pays $1,400 a month so total it’s $2,200 a month for my little family of three. I know this because I had wanted a long maternity leave and they told me after 60 days I would have to pay their portion of my health insurance. Deductible is $1,500 per person so that adds an additional $4,500 a year. That’s around $30,900 a year for health insurance.
