But... it's not "expensive"... It's just the price. And many people never see or think about it because "employer" pays some/most/all of it. Until... you don't have an employer. Then it seems "expensive". But... the price has always been there, we just don't see it sometimes.
Employer-involved insurance is one of the biggest things slowing social progress, imo.
