A based one for once. Note it’s kind of old and the US would be worse by now.

      It’s cheap because that way a lot of people can get insured and the burden of the insurer gets shared by lots of people. There’s also a big tax on your pay going to the state’s health and unemployment system. So by paying lots of taxes an additional health insurance for bigger medical costs is cheap.

      Why not make it free? I don’t know, would be great to work towards to.
