Thanks for this break down. Very interesting to see how the health insurance cost is similar to the US but the payer is different. In the US, if you are lucky, your employer pays the bulk of the premium. If you aren’t, you try and find a cheaper ‘death and dismemberment’ plan (only covers tragic events ) so you aren’t bankrupted if something really bad happens. The terrible part is for those folks, there is no state plan to fall back on. Insurance and providers are more than happy to bill you into crushing debt.
