My share of premiums for my family plan is $20k/year. My employer is a non-profit and very transparent about expenses. They pay an additional $30k.
That’s before deductible. Also not counting Medicare tax.

If they’re retired for 20 or 30 years, that’s at least $200,000 to $300,000 that they’re paying into a total scam over the course of their retirement.
They’re going to need that money to pay for the treatment that the insurance companies are going to deny their claims for.

$1000 a month would be cheap.

Damn, that’s crazy. You could deliver a baby for less than that. Maybe support a whole pregnancy and have some left over.
