I think the alternate plan is they get job that provides health insurance or bust their butt and make enough to pay for it.

There are companies that offer health insurance. My niece worked at Starbucks while in school, now that she has a "real job" she still works PT at Starbucks for the benefits. She gets health care for $30/month, stock options and a free pound of coffee a week. I think Publix gives benefits. Yet, people complain about the prices at these two places, DUH, you can't have it both ways.
