I think he's folding in the "charges sociales" that companies have to pay out to the government when they offer a salary. From what I heard they're roughly 50% of the salary cost of each employee. I'm no expert though... could be different.

For the record, 100€ net in the pocket of an employee corresponds to 180€ cost-to-company.
That's right, and that's why France have for instance some of the best hospitals in the world and why they are almost free.

They're not free, you're paying 60% minimum of your income in taxes and a good part of goes to social security. Not only is that not free but it's extremely expensive. And hospitals are not the best either, in fact I'd avoid them if I were you if you care about not getting nosocomial infections, they're famous for that.

APHP (Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris) is ranked first in Europe and in the very top worldwide…

My son was born very prematured (6 month), he was born at Port-Royal in Paris (APHP, French public hospital), the total cost of his birth was 320k€, I did not even issue my credit card ONCE. Paid by public money. Period.

And where do you think public money comes from? Hint: your pocket.
