They shouldn't even be allowed to call health insurance a "benefit" anymore. All it does is imply that they gave it to you and you aren't paying for it yourself with premiums. btw, my premiums are REALLY up there.
I worked for a large coffee chain and there was an issue with employee pay all around. During a district meeting the manager sat there with a calculator totalling up the free coffee we get and how much our pay "actually" was. Needless to say I don't work there still. >

My employer does the same thing. They give you a paper with the cost of your benefits (insurance, meals, etc) and call it "total compensation". At least the paper specifically mentions how much of that is base wage, bonus, and benefits.
