"Well, the first thing I learned is that cost is a really slippery concept. Because when the government says that a family like Ella's costs a quarter of a million pounds a year to manage, what it really means is that this system costs a quarter of a million pounds a year.

This is not normal, because the average school teacher creates a more valuable “product” than the average coder.

Free or subsidized medical insurance is also available.. Another option is to pay for all of the savings.
