You're not giving us enough information here. Just because you have insurance, doesn't mean it's good insurance. I've had insurance through 2 different employers that was $250+ a month, and barely covered anything. My wife has worked in the food industry as well and has had no insurance offered at all. For me, the deductibles were insane, the coverage was low, etc.   


Healthcare in the US, IS awful. It's not even up for debate or subjective. Insulin is like 1,000% higher in cost than any other place. It's bad enough healthcare needs to be paid for, with how much in taxes this country takes and being the most well off country in the world. It's even worse that you pay $150-500+ a month and still have a hard time paying for healthcare costs because the insurance is garbage.   


Healthcare is atrocious in this country. Period.

Because many Americans may not realize, this is **incredibly** expensive compared to the rest of the developed world. I'm American but when I lived in France I had maybe 60€ taken from my check monthly in health insurance tax and it covered my entire family. I paid I think 20€ or so a month for a "top up" insurance as well. For normal healthcare I paid almost nothing, 1€ for a doctor's visit and a couple of Euros at most for prescription meds. I also got seriously injured once and spent a month in the hospital, after which I got a bill for 0€.   


I have excellent insurance in the US (Tricare) but I'd take the French system every single time.
