I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance - Lemmy.World

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?

Insurance is extra expensive when you have a family in the US. I’m single and my monthly cost is less than $100 a month. Having a family is more expensive for everything.
But WHy dON’t YoUNg poPLE wANT tO sTarT a FaMILy?!?!
