Many employers offer health care for you and your family as a benefit. Some don't. It'd be unethical to lie about the terms of employment, for example to claim you'd be eligible and then renege. Assuming the US, typically employers pay 50% or more of the cost. But the total cost isn't that much different than what you'd pay on the open market. So you just have to find out how much that benefit (and others) are worth to you when comparing salaries. Health care is currently very expensive, and IMHO, not that great. But it doesn't make that much difference who provides it. You can buy it on your own, which is especially important for the self-employed. It's no more unethical if the company lied and said you'd get health care and then didn't do it, than if you took a job with a certain salary and benefits and then demanded more benefits that weren't part of the deal.
