In the US? Having to go to the hospital, having an illness etc can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Other countries pay more per paycheck, we pay a lot more per bill.
Going to the hospital would bankrupt me even as a relatively well off software engineer and even with my decent (work-tied) healthcare I still have months of wait time. In order to get into a doctor I made an appointment in February for a visit in September.
- ponector 3y agoIn US if you are a software engineer, what percentage of your salary would you spend for health insurance, medicine, copay etc?
- thirdsun 3y agoHealthcare shouldn't be something only software engineers and other well off people can afford.
- weberer 3y agoIf you're a software engineer, your employer would provide you with a plan that covers most, or even all of the cost.
- ponector 3y agoThen it is actual free healthcare for US developer but expensive and useless "free" for me. What a joke!
