I can't believe you wouldn't ever, ever, ever, ever claim that a person with no dependents gets off better with a company's medical plan
Except that at most companies they do. A person with no dependents typically pays less because in the long run they will typically use less medical benefits than an employee with a wife and five kids.
In my salary range, my current employer charges $13.24 a week for employee only HMO vs. $69.80 for employee+family. Even when I worked for a nation-wide bank or hotel chain the charges were very similar.
