But do Honda and Toyota pay family health insurance even after the
employee dies?

That I don't know but I found this interesting:

"Toyota Motor Corporation’s health care costs have doubled over the past
five years to more than $11,000 a year per U.S. worker. In its newest
plant, The Detroit News reports,(2) Toyota has taken a new approach,
building a clinic at the factory that provides services, including vision
checks, dental care, laboratory tests, physical therapy, and even
pediatric care. Companies adopting such practices spend more up front for
primary care and drugs, but the cost is more than offset by a drop in
costly hospitalization and specialty care expenses. On-site clinics are
also expected to reduce absenteeism. Moreover, Toyota clinic physicians
will not be remunerated on the basis of how many patients they see––the
U.S. health care system’s prevailing payment structure—but rather
encourage more time with doctors."

Wow. What's next? I owe my soul to the company store?
