I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance
idk man I just need to vent i guess
my employer "provides" health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)
that's half our monthly mortgage payment; it's 2/3 our monthly grocery bill
why?

i get the feeling that society really doesnt want to spend the money to give people healthcare.
It's 2 fold, one party doesn't want to takeaway private insurance because of the donor money. The other doesn't want "inferior" people to get health care.
A double edge sword unfortunately.
Well, at least here in the USA, we already are spending the money. Getting worse results than the rest of the world and spending more money on it. Because private health insurance is a joke and we're all the punchline.
Most Americans want universal healthcare. The problem is that we have a broken and corrupt system where our politicians are bought and owned by the donor class and lobbyists
I "want" universal healthcare... but I know the government will screw it up. There is just no winning.
