You aren't paid in healthcare at an hourly job. There is an employer healthcare plan you can buy into if you want. If you have insurance through your parents, spouse, another job, you just don't opt in.

At lower paying hourly jobs typically the employer doesn't cover any of the cost. For many these are prohibitively expensive, even if you work full time. Typically for higher paid work, most salary positions, the employer covers most of the cost.
