Healthcare "Raises"

Here is a beutiful chart from econompicdata:

The real costs and benefits is essentially health care. If you were given the choice, wouldn't you rather have the cash? The sad part is most of this rise is inflating health care costs, not more or better health care.

  2. I would totally take the cash and spend that money in a foreign country with cheaper health care!!! I've been wondering why we don't outsource health care like we do IT. India has great doctors and hospitals and the cost of care is so much cheaper than here.. so why don't get certain treatments in India as opposed to wasting so much money in the U.S?
