(46,154 posts)insurance (in both the public and the private sectors), that cost you nothing out of pocket? No premiums, no co-pays, no deductibles, etc?
Did that include all pharma costs, so that all meds were no cost to you as well?
Were certain drugs and/or treatments not covered?
Also, was there a cap to these benefits, either yearly or a lifetime one?
Finally, was your family (spouse and children, if you had them) included?
If it all was literally free, no cost to you at all, and there was no cap, plus nothing (pharma/treatment) blocked, that would literally be the best healthcare deal on the planet I have ever heard of.
Even remove some of it (say there was a (albeit high) lifetime cap, and/or some rare and/or ultra, ultra high cost and/or experimental treatments and drugs were blocked) it still would be the best.
Certainly, I would think you would have been in a minority of Americans who had such a plan, no matter what decade we are talking about.
