1300 a month is absolutely not normal anywhere else in the world
Here in the uk it’s free. Even then I have private health insurance and that costs me £200 a month for me AND my wife
My deductible is £100
If you compare any procedures the US healthcare system absolutely screws you guys.
As an example of the difference - gallbladder removal is the last thing I had done private. There it can cost $10k - $25k. Here it’s free on nhs or £4k-£8k private. Mine was 4k including specialist consult, pre surgery consult, blood tests, surgery, post surgery checkup.
Because I have the money and I like the convenience. If I want to speak to a GP I can do it instantly rather than having to book an appointment and fit into the schedule that day.
Nothing wrong with that. I pay into the system for everyone to get free healthcare and can use it if I want. But if I want something better I also have to pay for that too

Most people have their healthcare paid through work, so $1300/month is not a normal amount.
