Do entry-level salaries in Europe have to cover health care? They do here. Even if you're working somewhere with a group plan, you're still taking more out of each check for medical coverage than for anything else except maybe taxes.

And if you're on your own for it, it's the same, except you pay more and the quality of care is a lot lower because the "marketplace" plans are the absolute minimum the insurers can get away with and still comply with the law.

Yes, it’s called tax.
