I agree with your sentiment, I’d never work for a place that didn’t offer a basic package.
- sneak 5y agoWhy? I'd much rather unbundle and just get additional cash comp and buy my own.
- rgrmrts 5y agoFair point, I guess. The benefit generally accounts for ~$18,000/yr out of pocket so getting ~$30,000/yr in additional comp is fine. These numbers assuming $1500/mo for good coverage (which is what I paid in the past when I was funemployed), and a higher comp accounting for taxation. All that said, I think employers are required by law to provide healthcare? In a perfect world, basic coverage would be part of what you get for paying taxes by the government.
- sneak 5y agoIn a perfect world nobody would be forced with violence to make nonconsensual payments to anyone else, so there would be ~0 tax revenue from which to fund such a thing.
