While this is true--any skilled position at a major employer will offer health coverage. I have a full-time staff of 3 people. If I didn't offer health insurance, I'd have a full-time staff of 0.

And whether you can get a "skilled position at a major employer" depends heavily on where you live and the job market there as it applies to your skill set. Remember, the current job market is such that we have people with college degrees leaving them off their resumes when they apply to jobs so that they aren't rejected as "overqualified".
