You pay 40% for most middle class people. In the US, it's about 25% for the same person. In fact, we don't have a rate over 35%.

So if you make $100,000 a year, you'll pay around 28% in the US and 40% in the UK. That's a difference in $12,000 a year, and $1000 a month. You can easily provide the best health insurance for your family for under that.
