TBF, the $300 is a "more" number in their post, the difference I think from the further upthreads comparison of $200/mo cost of non-US, vs. $500/mo cost for US. So,

> don't care about loosing (sic) an extra 300 USD on health insurance

It's the difference we allegedly don't care about. But they're claiming the cost is $500/mo, not $300/mo.

Still, I think they're wrong: $300/mo or $3,600/y would be a decent sum to a lot of people that they would like to have, to spend on things like housing or basic items.

Also, my searching says $500/mo is a bit below the average single-person coverage premium. And if you have a family, my Google searches suggest you'd love to see $500/mo for healthcare, as you're paying >>$500/mo.

Even if we (I think generously) use $500/mo, I think we can only generously call that a premium-only number. But if you're comparing my private insurance premiums to a nation with universal/government insurance, I think you have to add in both the higher costs I pay out of pocket for things insurance won't cover, and the taxes I pay for government healthcare programs.
