And even when things are going great and both you and the company agree that you'll be a great fit, things still come in to screw everything up.
I had a great job lined up, perfect fit for me and them. But my SO has a condition. The pill my SO takes everyday costs ~$1-5 per pill with most insurance companies. The substance is used in horse feed, just like how humans put vitamin D in milk, or iodine in salt, this substance is put in horse feed gratis. It does not appreciably change the cost the feed.
When I looked into the health insurance for the new job, the pill would have cost us ~$100, so ~$3k/mo or ~$36k/year. I, obviously, had to turn the job down.
That US healthcare is completely broken is not just contained to families, but it leaks out over our whole society. A perfect hire, ruined because of shitty healthcare.
