They pay the majority of the insurance premium. The insurance company pays the healthcare costs, you typically pay a deductible of like 500 or 1000 depending on the care. You can still get insurance on your own but its like 10x expensive. If you are uninsured you’re screwed and will probably have to file bankruptcy if it was something major.

Basically if you have a decent job you’ll be ok. If you don’t you better be rich. Low wage workers in shitty jobs that don’t have insurance just go to the ER for everything and just don’t pay the bill, file bankruptcy or get hounded by collectors forever.
