In the US, you can buy medical insurance from the same mega corps that offer it through Fortune 500 companies... its just not subsidized by your employer so you pay larger premiums.
- heavyset_go 6y agoThey might be the same corporations offering coverage, but the plans are different. It isn't just the employer subsidization that you need to factor in, but that you as an individual will never be able to negotiate the terms of the plans you're offered, nor will you be able to negotiate for group plan rates.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoI didn’t say anything about pricing.
- redisman 6y agoYou pay the whole premium more like. The plans in the state exchanges are pretty decent at least in WA. Gold level plans are about equal to a decent average company plan (not like a Google level one)
