Except when your state provided healthcare ends up inadequate and you find out there are no other options.

Except when your family member ends up uninsured and you find out insurance is actually tied to employment, just like in the US.

Except when you need dental care which costs as much as in the US, but your salary is 4x lower and taxes 2x higher.

What are you talking about? The insurance is not tied to the job, it is tied to the income. No income = free insurance.

Depends on the location and various factors. It's not universal.
