Well first of all, this is in response to the idea that "Most of Amazon's workers are badly treated and either actually in poverty or less than a month's pay away from it.", which we KNOW to be untrue. But even with the new goalposts: comparing Amazon workers to the median worker in other OECD nations, it is objectively untrue that Amazon's group health insurance plan is worse than that of public health insurance in other developed countries. America's problem isn't that workers of rich corporations have inadequate healthcare, it's that you have to work for a rich corporation to have adequate healthcare. You have to keep in mind that healthcare isn't 100% free in most of the world, there's still co-insurance, co-pays, etc. With that in mind, I work in insurance, and I can tell you right now that the health insurance plans afforded to software engineers of most of the big tech companies are on average more generous than those of most European countries in terms of total out-of-pocket expenditure. At Amazon, the US warehouse workers are given the same health insurance as their company-mates sitting in the cubicles.
