So UHC came to my job to pitch their plans for the employer health insurance. They wanted something like $1400/mo and I guess enough people complained because a new email just came up for $1000/mo.

Australian here. We pay taxes, therefore the majority of healthcare is paid for by the govt. Visits to my GP cost $85, and I get about half back by rebate - they're 100% covered if you can find a doctor that bulk-bills medicare (unfortuntely rare these days). Prescription medicines cost ~$15 a script. A few years back I had stomach surgery, was in hospital for a few days, the whole experience cost me $30 out of pocket for post-surgery meds.
