The same logic applies to purchasing food and housing. A large employer purchasing an apartment complex with 100 apartments would be much cheaper than me purchasing a condo by myself. Purchasing 100lbs of grapes is much cheaper than me purchasing 1lb. of grapes for myself. The reason employers don’t provide these things is that some employees might not want to eat grapes. Some might be vegan, and some eat at McDonald’s every day. Some might want a studio apartment in the city and some might want a farm house in the country. That’s why they pay us with money so we can choose to purchase what we want for our own lifestyle. I just don’t understand putting the power of my healthcare in the hands of my employer. I wouldn’t want to put the power of any of my other needs in his hands.
