How do people survive in America? This is with insurance!

My employer sends out a sheet every year that itemizes our entire comp package.

The single most expensive is my insurance, a family EPO with a $750/1500 deductible.

I pay $8200/yr. My employer pays nearly $33,000.

Forty. Thousand. Dollars. For one family.

Plus another $10k or so for Medicare and Dental and Vision.

$50k, per year, all told.

And then deductibles, co-pays, etc.

And then…the fuckers…you put money in your FSA but can’t locate the receipt? Fuck off man, that money is for your employer now.

Our President is fucking children with zero consequence, and I need to show a fucking receipt to reimburse a fucking $3 prescription, with my own money that I put there.

After myself and my employer already paid $50k combined into the system?

Fuck this country man.

Fun. In Germany the highest you can pay for full coverage is ~1300€/month. This is enough for you, your family and also helps pay for anybody earning less. Covers any treatment for any health problems, for life.
