You're still assuming a big company. Imagine you work for a startup and have to purchase insurance on an exchange.

I'm really not assuming big company, I'm assuming teacher.

You've been saying company, and the GP set the context of company, but okay, fine. Big organization: company, not-for-profit, union, government, etc.

Are you really going to nitpick my words? I'm sorry that me saying 'depending on your company and plan' didn't include every possible profession in the US. Your argument is still shit and untrue. If healthcare cost more than a few hundred dollars to thousands 90% of americans wouldn't be able to afford it, which last time I checked wasn't the case.

A lot of Americans can't afford insurance, which is why many choose to pay the tax penalty and go without insurance.

Teachers tend to work for rather large companies. We just call them public schools.
