Is this true for health insurances paid by the employers too? I am just curious since people say if you have a tech job you have nothing to worry about healthcare in the US.


In many cases the premium is paid for by your employer entirely, and the max out of pocket is lower, like $4k a year. But it depends on the employer and what plans afte offered.

Also about 20% of Americans are on medicaid, and generally do not pay any premiums, deductibles, or copays


I have 20 years in c++ dev experience at an f500, in silicon valley I probably would get double the pay and full health benefits, but I probably would be too old to work there. so it depends on what you mean by tech.
