Yup. Fun fact: health insurance for employees was 30% less in LA than SF. LA isn’t cheap but cut our costs at least 20% when we left. https://twitter.com/Suhail/status/1299954019478065152 …

Hospital systems are far less consolidated in LA = less bargaining power with insurers and dictating high rates. We don't have the Sutter Healths of the world down here.
