Like about 157 million Americans, Babbitt gets insurance through his job. Unlike most Americans, his job has exceptionally generous benefits. “Our owners are very nice — they give all of our employees health care and they pay for it,” he says. The company offers several different plan options and covers most or all of the monthly premium cost.

I didn’t know this was even a thing. You always hear about “benefits” as if you’re privileged to be able to spend as much as rent every month on a health insurance plan with a $5000 deductible that mostly covers preventative medical care.

…and yet healthcare is still too goddamn expensive even if your employer pays your monthly premiums.
