Who is paying 20% to just health care?

A little over 20% includes taxes as well out of my pay.

People who aren't FTEs. It's the trendy thing to do in tech, fire all your employees and hire them back as contractors. You save 20-50k per employee by doing that.

Covering my family at my last job was $1,200 a month. That was about 30% of my wage.

Holy shit. How big was your family…

I think mine is ~$800, and that’s pretty decent insurance.

I have really good insurance at my work, and the PPO plan is about 10% of my paycheck for my family. And that's with my work paying 2-3x that amount.
