    Pretty sure the US is the only country where medical insurance is tied to employment.

    Some companies often offer extra medical benefits elsewhere, but nowhere else does your entire medical coverage depend on your employer.

    great, now all he has to worry about is rent, food, bills, and all those other expenses. I'm sure Tim will dedicate an insignificant fraction of his immeasurable wealth to taking care of all that, too.

    Idk if this is in the US, but its a pretty common thing. I have personal experience with an employer cutting insurance for a family member when they were dying of cancer

    It’s the same amount of care as they have for their customers. Support indie developers

    Gonna put it out there that the intolerable state of American healthcare is not principally the fault of a video game company.

    This is a bad response. He’s ambiguous on if epic will continue to pay for their insurance. Solve could just mean sending the employee COBRA info
