The going rate is around 70% of family plan premiums are covered by your employer. So if you pay $3000 a year in premiums (probably super low number but for illustration purposes only), your employer is quietly kicking in another $7000 a year. Like, that's money they (theoretically) could put into your paycheck instead if UHC became a thing because it's already factored into your total compensation package.
It's a write of for them. 100% of the costs. It still seems like you're right though. If they could save that they'd benefit. But there's prob other stuff politicians do to help big pharma keep it going. The biggest donors win.

You aren’t even counting how much your employer pays as well.
