I am in Czechia. I am paying less social security (and am getting proportionally less in return) and exactly the same healthcare insurance as everyone else.

If I was to be an employee, I would (or rather, my employer) be forced to do everything based on the employment law, which has severe restrictions on me as well as on my employer and on the kind of relationship we have, which causes extreme loses to me (as I like to be paid proportionally to returns) + paying more for things I don't want and up until now wasn't required to have.
