So with some employers you have paid nothing and now you pay 100 dollars per month? It seems like HC costs for an employee in the U.S is highly variable - some get off lucky others don't. It also is highly dependant on an employer footing the bill. If you lost your job tomorrow and had no private insurance what would happen with your healthcare needs?
It is highly variable and what happens after you lose your job varies greatly from state to state.
You can see why the US would be attractive to professionals with excellent health plans though. I personally miss the HC structure I had back in the US. But of course I was gainfully employed and resided in a state with a strong universal healthcare law. So as with anything YMMV.

Oh yeah I can definitely see why say paying 100 bucks a month in pvt insurance taking care of your healthcare needs is very reasonable and attractive, all the more so if you make good coin. That said, the employer is having to pay a pretty penny per head for premiums like that I would imagine. The concern I have and this is probably predictable is the uncertainty and variability person to person, State to State. Everything is good as long as they don't jack up your premiums left, right and centre or you don't get canned. That doesn't speak to the people who work and don't get this or they have to pay out the yin yang even though they make crap coin - gotta suck for them.
I don’t personally find either of them overly expensive, but Beauty’s is an old school neighbourhood luncheonette, Joe’s is a tourist trap on one of the most expensive streets in Boston. Two completely different places.
Comparable would be a place like Gallery Diner in South Boston. Ironically enough Anthony Bourdain visited both Gallery and Beauty’s and loved them both.
Yes that is probably a better match, but just looking at the menu's, and interior shots, the Galley looks more like a dive type, where Beauty seems to be on the cusp of being a dive LOL
Here's one in Vancouver. Great food, some that you wouldn't expect in a " diner " and good prices.
Maybe because you don't have a household full of children?
It's really not uncommon with families who have a whole passel of kids. I often see families taking home all the leftovers that the parents and kids didn't finish in a restaurant, especially if it's any kind of Asian restaurant (which we have so many of here). It's a treat for the kiddies too, they look forward to it for a snack later. I don't have kids at home anymore but I still usually have to take extras home for myself because most Asian restaurants here serve large amounts of everything, there's no way I can finish everything at one sitting. (A single small size serving of war wonton soup alone could easily serve as a full meal for 3 of me.) And Asian foods are always still tasty and easy to reheat for a snack or a meal the next day.
.
Maybe it's the type of restaurant. I very rarely go to Asian restaurants but I can see why people might take food home from them. I can't see that happening often in a non-Asian restaurant but I've never thought about it or specifically looked for that. I just think that if it happened, I'd be aware of it on some level.
That's been my experience but what are you supposed to do with all that extra food? It always seemed like a terrible waste to me and generally I don't like to take food home from a place.
What, you don't like taking a doggie bag? I'll ask for one in a heartbeat. You are still taking the food home with you in some form anyway.
If you get it from a reputable university is pretty much the same thing....I'm not talking diploma mills like the University of Phoenix and similar... nowadays even universities of the caliber of Carnegie Mellon offer online programs.
You can get an MBA from a reputable school for as little as 15K.....

'Downtown food, at East Van prices.' .... says it all. Nat, the hubby and I used to enjoy going to the Argo Cafe for their Saturday brunches from time to time. Good coffee, really good food and interesting selections like you'd expect from a more ritzy place downtown, and reasonable prices.

Yes it's a good place. Just hope it lasts. The whole area is changing. Lot's of smaller businesses will be under threat as the condo's spread southward as they already have from Olympic Village.
