I'm of two minds on this thread. On one hand, I'm surprised at the poor quality of comments ("vitamins", "The government", etc). On the other hand, I sort of place it on the OP's shoulders due to the fact that he didn't list any domain/restriction on this incredibly generic question.

We are a diverse group here of 100+ countries. If you ask a generic question, you're going to get 100+ countries' worth of experiences. In a case like this, it's just not helpful to anyone to throw this question out to 100+ countries - what value is it to a Canadian what someone from Thailand pays for health insurance? Zero. What value is it to someone from England who has four kids and a spouse what a 20yr old American on his parents' insurance "pays"?

I wish this thread had been better. I'd love to know this information about my fellow USA HN'ers. Hopefully the next thread someone creates on this topic will be a bit more specific and we can have intelligent discussions.
