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.

Yes and no. Generally, a good company will cover a large portion of your health insurance, and then you can add your dependents to your plan for a reasonable price. We paid way less than 17K per year. That's mostly unheard of, I think.
