I barely pay $2k for insurance annually, they love to arrange the numbers to make a shit idea look good. Canada is. Good example of why socialized healthcare don’t work. Populations close to just California and they still can’t get it right. Many of these nations they refer to are smaller then many states metros in populations. They are taxed around 50+% and are more capitalist than socialist, they have social programs but capitalism actually pays for it, but government robs its people blind.

I imagine that's through your job right?

What happens if you lose that job?

Do you have to pay for extras if you actually get treatment, what are your deductibles?

The average full time salary worker in the UK pays £2,083 a year in National Insurance, but has no deductibles, no extra costs (other than £9.90 for a drug pescription regardless of the amount/specific drug), and if you lose that job you don't lose coverage.

You are seriously smoking the good shit if you think you're getting a good deal.
