The point is that the average American dev takes home a lot more cash than European devs.

Whether e.g. healthcare comes out of my paycheck separately or is paid via higher taxes is just accounting.

My original point was about avoiding the reductive view of comparing one country against another solely by how much cash one takes home for a given job.

Just on healthcare, did you know your per capita spending is 2 to 3 times higher?
