Now if you were in the US, you'd get much more money from the start on you bank account. But you'll have to individually pay for health insurance, and individually plan for retirement. In the end it will cost you exactly as much, but instead of collective bargaining you're on your own against big insurance companies. Unsurprisingly, this rarely ends well for the lone individual against corporate behemoths.
Well, just to illustrate, there is a private insurance company from Uk called Amariz, very famous in europe.
I asked to a proposal for my familly (2 adults/2 children).
And where i was asked around 40k euros/year in healthcare taxes, it will cost me around 7k at better level of coverage and service. But even if european law are allowing it, leaving state insurance company in favor of private in France expose individuals to justice harrassment...So most of business owner prefer to stay away from trouble and pay far biggest fee.
