Wow, sounds like you just discovered that health insurance is expensive! (Regardless of who pays it, your employer paying it is just a hidden reduction of your salary.)
That’s hardly something I “just” discovered. Practically every other first world country offers deeply subsidized or nationalized health care except the United States, and considering my 40% effective tax rate isn’t much lower than those places, I’d rather all citizens have access and not have to forego health insurance for food or rent.
