The average gold plan in the US is $575 premium per person per month. For the average household that would be thousands. The average monthly healthcare cost across all "levels" is about $975 per person.

So just to be clear this was pretty exaggerated right?

> "waiving" here means you're still paying thousands per month (between employer and individual) in premiums

I get it that American healthcare sucks but let’s at least try to be accurate about how much it sucks.
