Sorry, Canadian... Are you saying that to get healthcare you have to pay this company, out of your own pocket, a grand a month? And just hope they don't deny etc and forget about any deductible?

It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.

From their perspective that is a the perfect customer pretty much all profit.

This is essentially current corporate culture and all mega corps operate like this. Health just exposes how mental I'll this behavior is.
