My health insurance premiums aren't much more than what I paid in NI back in the UK - about $100 a month I think. OTOH, and back to the original point, my employer has to pay far more. Thus potentially making me even more expensive. This isn't meant to be a debate on where it's better or cheaper to live (especially since Leo has asked us to rename this thread) more the fact that I can imagine that it *is* more expensive to have a US based dev team.
