The bigger question is why is healthcare 1/6th of our economy? Why do we need so much care? Why does it cost so much more in the US compared to other countries? Where is the money going to? And why are these large companies paying so much?
My projected healthcare costs this year is $150, next year it will be $0 (known or planned numbers). I pay $800-$1000/year in insurance, and I think my employer pays $3000. That would be close to $30-$50 million for 10,000-15,000 employees if they use a younger person rates for everyone (which they don't). The company may make a billion or two a year, so it can handle paying that, but I wonder if we get anywhere close to $10 million in healthcare expenses.
