Largest household expense after housing is usually (sometimes indirect) health insurance premiums. For a family of 4, this is running on the order of $30k annually now. That's creeping up on half the median household income (which often requires two workers).

Hiding this very real expense in tax deductions for employers obscures the fact of just how large it is.
