You should compare your health care expenses to what people in countries with state-paid health care pay. In Norway, the government or local government end up with about 60% (probably a bit more) of the money a regular employee earns. I think something in the realm of 10% of that money goes to health care (stitching together these numbers is a bit tricky, because our health care doesn't pay for exactly the same things your health insurance does)
