You are the exception here, not the rule. 46 USD for Healthcare is pretty rare in the US. It's not uncommon for people to spend 500 USD per month, so 300 CHF would look good to many people.
There is also the potential argument that the Swiss healthcare system is better overall than the US system, but that could be a complete debate in itself.
- adventured 7y ago> 46 USD for Healthcare is pretty rare in the US. For a software developer (the subject of the post) it is not pretty rare. The median software developer is well over six figures in the US now for salary. Having your healthcare entirely or nearly entirely covered by your employer, is not unusual when you're over $100k.
