Canadian living in USA. My brain is regularly fried by healthcare here, it ends up being a simple high level equation.
My out of pocket max per year is around $6000 USD, and my salary is double what I was (under)paid in Toronto, and taxes are a bit lower here (CA).
So the take home pay is mid-5-figures more, and worst-case scenario healthcare is mid-4-figures, so it balances out very favourably for my situation (anyone in tech with a full-time job, basically).
(Of course, those who aren't well-paid in tech have a much worse situation and I can't imagine how difficult that must be.)
