You’re aware that you’re talking bullshit, yes? Insurance costs is a percentage of your income and it’s most certainly not almost 1000€ for everyone. If you’re paying that much for insurance and your income isn’t sufficient you might want to budget better (it should be at least over 4000€/month after taxes and insurance). This, of course, regards employees and general insurance.

If you’re self-employed and insured privately things are different but this is only about 10% of people. So it’s most certainly not a very common issue and obviously not the general case.
