It's Kaiser in northern California. This is an extremely common healthcare option. Yeah, we're rich. That's the whole point: even out of pocket prices for that plan are dwarfed by the gap in salary to the UK professionals.

Most people aren't professionals, though. Nobody's arguing that the US isn't set up for the comfort of people making $500,000+/year.

Kaiser was an option when I was making 130k a year.

You said it was "easy" to get a job with Kaiser upthread - what percentage if CA residents are on it?

$130K a year still puts you at the 87th percentile of income in the US.
