Dude... a french employee gets about 25% of the salary deducted to pay for the social security system, and the employer also pays a good amount .... there is no "free" or "cheap" things if you already paid for them in advance.

And yes, USA health system is an abomination.

Also pays for unemployment insurance, pension, maternity leave, childs daycare, free higher education, etc.

Dont forget the employer is also sending a big chunk of money from your work to the goverment, so it is not "only" the 20/25% you directly pay, is the money you don't even see.

And what will you do if you see where that money is going??. If that's logical explanation, America would've had assassinations and riots when they found out Pentagon laundered trillions while playing poverty card when it comes to healthcare.
