- SoftTalker 2y agoBecause they compete with other employers? If an employee costs X, it doesn't matter to the employer if X is all cash to the employee or split with the insurance provider. The entire reason health insurance got so mixed up with employment was as a workaround to WW-II era wage freezes. Employers couldn't pay more salary, so they offered other benefits including insurance to attract and retain employees. Now we're stuck with that.
