Maximum out of pocket costs for me is €300~ish, and the premiums for my wife and I (kid is free) is €300 a month with worldwide coverage (we travel a lot). I receive Silicon Valley wages and live in Europe. My income taxes are around 25-28% depending on things.
I grew up and lived in the US for most of my life. The healthcare simply isn’t imaginable for most Americans. I don’t have to argue with insurance about whether or not a medication is covered, I don’t have to add an extra two hours to my hospital visit just to work out billing, getting an epi-pen doesn’t bankrupt me, and so much less hassle. I got into a motorcycle accident in the US. After really good insurance, it still cost me nearly 100k, my son cost 20k + a huge argument with insurance about the date of conception so they could get out of paying for it. That would have all been free here without any argument whatsoever.
I understand your denial, I was once the same way.
