What about the money your company pays for the healthcare? I only see ~$350 a year deducted from my paycheck to pay for my insurance, but according to my W2, my employer pays another $8,000 per year to the insurance company. You’re paying a lot more for your health insurance than you see on your paychecks.
The company sees your benefits as part of your total compensation. They factor all of it in when considering your “value.” If they weren’t paying the insurance they’d need to pay you more to maintain a level of competitiveness that they claim the benefits add… Not to mention if everyone working paid a healthcare tax there’s no way in fucking hell it would be $1,200+ a month like it currently is… Not to mention eliminating the need for profits which add to the costs…
