In the US, health insurance is mainly through your employer. Healthcare is so expensive that no one can afford it without insurance. A single uninsured health emergency can leave you bankrupt for life. It’s how employers keep employees terrified of losing your job and keeping you in jobs you hate because you need the health insurance. Only the wealthy can take the risk to go it alone and start your own business so you get to be the one to oppress other people. All the while they will explain how being poor is your fault because everyone has the same opportunities.
