I treat it more like a subscription. I pay a little over $100 a month for health insurance. A doctor visit would cost around $10-20 out of pocket, so it wouldn't be worth it. However, the insurance also costs with 50% discount on medicine, which ends up right about $80 a month (in discount), so it pays itself back more or less.

The fact is that your company is paying the vast majority of your actual premium and you just never see that money as coming out of your paycheck. https://www.completepayrollsolutions.com/blog/how-much-does-health-insurance-cost-an-employer https://www.completepayrollsolutions.com/blog/how-much-does-...
