So employer covers 100% or what? in that case, can't everyone just be employed?

Employment based insurance. Both the Employer and the Employee pay the insurance out of every paycheck. Coverage is up to a certain limit amount beyond which the employee pays for it.

Workers always end up paying the cost as companies are shifting the cost more towards the workers. Healthcare is a burden on all Americans except on the wealthy, and on the Federal employees like Senators and Legislators who get free government healthcare coverage that is superior to the private insurance. Ironically, many senators who are conservative and who benefit from this good coverage do not want their constituents to get the same healthcare benefit. they tell their ignorant dying voters that government healthcare is socialism.

The high cost of healthcare also doesn't translate into a quality healthcare. No matter how you look at the American healthcare system, it is built for profit. The emergency ambulance is owned by Wall Street investors so a patient who has a heart attack and who is transported on the ambulance ends up paying minimum of 2000 Dollars out of their pocket.

America is greed ridden country. Money is God and dictates everything about life.

The employer pays majority, and the average person pays what amounts to a cell phone bill every month.

Surgeries included? Say you get cancer. Or broke an arm. You know like serious stuff. Not little check ups which I cannot remember needing in the last decade

WTF that's some insane sh*t! I can understand the wealthy having the means to pay for coverage beyond employment but to have a separate exclusive government health insurance that is Free is akin to one of the worst insults imaginable.

I wouldn't cope under that and fly away but even that is a joke since I read that you are also double taxed as an American. It really is the land of the Scammers.

If you work a fulltime job you get free healthcare.
