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?

      It’s not a lot of money and certainly not worth it. I’m just making a point that I financially go positive rather than negative. The money comes from a private insurer that makes money every year. I’m pretty sure they are on top of things. This is not some advanced insurance scam; it’s the realisation that an accident is something to be compensated for and not punished for. No-one wants to be in an accident (edge cases blah blah).
