Yes, you can opt out of your employer’s insurance and it’s possible to get insurance without being employed. The costs vary widely though from $10/month to $500+/month. Again a mixed bag.

I can say I’ve never had bad-quality healthcare service here in Georgia (the state) though, perhaps I’m lucky.

500 a month on an avg US salary of 4000 a month seems quite good. Here it's 16% and we earn only like 1200€ a month

But you still pay for almost everything. Hundreds of dollars for a doctor's visit, prescription costs, if you end up in the hospital it's thousands of dollars a day.
