re: If your money income, corrected for inflation, stays constant, but your health care benefits rise to cover the rising cost of health insurance, in recent years, you are better off.

You are nuts. You can't pay for a rent increase with the money your employer pays for health benefits. You can't buy a meal. Pay for child care.

Tim, it's not some sterile spreadsheet. It's real people going to the grocery store with more inflation and flat earnings. Real people trying to pay rent, the car loan, car insurance, food bills, on and on.

They don't care a whit about your philosophical argument that they are doing great 'cause their health insurance is expensive. Especially the ones that don't have it.
