My question is where you can find comprehensive family coverage for $5000/year.
Depends on the deductible or co-pay, and of course age. Those who shop can find coverage for that or less. A young couple, in their twenties, non-smokers, in good health can easily find coverage for major medical. Also, if they choose a high deductible plan they could open an HSA. Assuming relative good health they can accumulate a large amount in an HSA.

A myth. If you ever get bored, spend 30 minutes and look into it, you may be surprised.
