Health insurance in the States isn't complicated, it's barbaric. It's a miserable hodge podge of private policies (that are really only affordable if you're young and healthy), group policies through employment (that employers are now doing their darndest to wiggle out of), Medicare (for seniors) and a quasi-federal policy administered by the states for the poorest people (called Medicaid). Then some states have high risk policies for adults, more have a program for children.
There are huge gaping holes. And there's no control on prices of medications. Mine would run somewhere around $750 per month if I didn't have a Cadillac policy (due to my husband being a retired State employee); his would run @ $600 per month. We pay @ $130 per month for both of us. A great deal for us; unfortunately there are millions and millions of people who don't have benefits.
It's a disgrace. And much greater minds than mine have attempted to grapple with the problem and it simply continues to worsen.
