Options that are granted and expire worthless cost the company nothing.

Insurance premiums that are paid for but expire unutilized by the employee (because he didn't get sick) cost the company something (the premium). In this case it is the insurance company that has gotten the benefit of the unutilized service - they got the revenue but incurred no cost.

The two are not the same.
