> you'd need to adjust for the benefits you get from your government/employer (Health insurance) for a fair comparison

Indeed. My out of pocket for medical care this year is $19k (and that's with one of the "gold" plans)

But how much is it compared to your salary? I pay 33% of my income just for Healthcare. Or well, government just takes it :)

I won't give exact numbers, but somewhere between 10% and 33%. :-)

But for a typical developer, that would be in the neighborhood of 20%.

Where? UK is 0-10% of taxable pay depending on how much you earn.
