When you pay $8,000 a year for insurance, you can't afford to use it.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Before my wife got a union job it cost us.

$15,600 for the insurance. I also put a other $7,200 into the HSA. Which we emptied that year and had a other $800 in out of pocket expenses (8,000k out of pocket max).

My total medical cost that year was 23,600.

Plus had a other $3k in dental and vision.

I did the math at the the end of the year figured I had spent 54% of my income that year on taxes medical.
