Isn't the 46$ just that part you pay? In other words, isn't your employer paying the rest? This is just for clarification that we're comparing apples to apples

This is just for clarification that we're comparing apples to apples.
- aripickar 7y agoI guess that’s true. Sorry, not to versed in healthcare costs, it’s the first time I had to pick my own plan and/or pay for it.
- mercutio2 7y agoYou’re also, I’m guessing, young with no dependents. The employee portion of health care costs goes up dramatically as you age (even if you don’t pay for other people); you can’t project from your health care costs in your 20s out to middle age.
- laurencerowe 7y agoAt every place I’ve worked in the US my employee share of health insurance does not vary by age, only by plan you select and if you cover dependents.
- 0xffff2 7y agoDoes it matter? Maybe if the employer was paying a lower salary to make up the difference it would, but everyone in this thread seems to agree that US developers get paid more too.
