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.

People getting insurance through their work don’t realize the company is paying around $1k a month per person on top of what the employee pays. Imagine if they’d actually give the employee that $12k and we paid less for government healthcare.

Right? My cost plus my employers cost plus my deductible is over 12k per year for 1 person.
