You are nuts. You can't pay for a rent increase with the money your employer pays for health benefits. And I can't pay for a rent increase if someone gives me the use of a car either, but I'm better off because of it. Cash might be better because its more flexible, but if you have something useful, your better off than if you don't have it, or if you have a poorer example of it.

>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. Health insurance is pretty insane... I just put together a budget for my company's next four years, and based on the growth in health care costs over the last few years, we'll be paying $7,200/year per employee for health and dental in 2010. That's almost a minimum wage salary right there (not that I have any staff making less than three times minimum wage). -Z
