Re:Why Should Americans Be Grateful for $137 Insulin? German... by pgeorgi on Friday March 22, 2019 @09:01AM (#19462100)
It's 14-15%, but half of that is covered by the employer (outside your gross pay).

So if you earn EUR 1000 (just to have a nice round number), it's EUR 150 for health insurance, of which EUR 75 come from your gross pay, and another EUR 75 are itemized as coming from the employer.

That makes the 14-15% look scarier than they are (for the employee).
