Ugh $77 per paycheck for medical (plus $13 for vision/dental). I hate American healthcare.

And that’s just me. You don’t want to know how much it would cost to add my spouse.

You’re not paying for “medical” – often people in other countries get confused by this. When we pay for health insurance it’s ONLY insurance – we still have to pay AGAIN if we actually have to go to a doctor or the hospital.

This is true. For instance it’s $150 if I use an emergency room. $50 for urgent care and $40 copay for a regular doctor visit. Plus another $10 for meds if they’re prescribed …assuming they’re covered.
