    My wife has a chronic illness with expensive drugs.

    Healthcare is around 35% of our families gross income when you include in the cost my employer pays, what I pay, plus deductable and copays.

    I avoid going to the Dr as much as possible because I have a separate deductible. If I went for everything I should it would be closer to 40% of our gross income.

      That country is fucked up. You people really have to come together and demand universal healthcare, as impossible as that sounds.
