You can get your own health insurance. Its called market place insurance. Most use their employers health insurance, but that option exists. And theres no “enrollment period”

Yeah but it’s way more expensive

Yes. With employment insurance, your employer pays a large chunk of it, its called benefits for a reason. Like 401k matching, if you dont use it, youre leaving money on the table

Healthcare is a human right, it should have never been a benefit tied to employment.

Thats why Medicare and Medicaid exist

They call it benefits because it’s marketing that works.

What would you call it? What’s your objection to the term “employee benefits”? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don’t get your angle.

They definitely marketed effectively to you.
That’s not a good thing.

Do you not have a 401k? Or a Roth IRA? Are you at least paying into social security?
