idk man I just need to vent i guess

my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)

that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill

why?

    I would opt out of your employer health insurance, and go fully private with a policy in your own name. There’s no way in hell that that premium is real.

      You are getting down voted because you said the dirty private word, but you are entirely right.

      Id say the bigger problem might be your employer Heath insurance company can tell you no to opting out.
