In a lot of states, if the employer doesn't offer employee family health insurance, the dependents are eligible for state health benefits.
Had a conversation with my brother last week about health insurance. He still lives near Amsterdam, retired, early 60's, pays his own health insurance (full premium, private market insurance). His premium is $950. Per YEAR.
Healthcare costs in this country are completely, utterly out of control. I'd like to blame the HCA, but that just made the problems worse, the whole sector was already rotten to the core before that.
