For just about everyone, taking the employer's health plan is the way
to go. Even if it is the catastophic plan offered by Wal-Mart. If
someone is working at Wal-Mart they can barely afford food.
I know people who spend $600 a month above what the employer pays for
their employer provided healthcare plan .
Unless you have government or military provided pension/healthcare
(like so many of the rightwingnuts here) expect to pay $800+ a month
for decent healthcare. Probably much more for a plan that pays for
prevention and not just catastophies.
