kind of a bogus measure. if the nominal cost of health insurance coverage rises, and your employer continues to pay for it, your total compensation went up, but you didn't benefit from it at all. it just became more expensive for your employer and the health insurer effectively raised their "tax" rate.

you would benefit as much as health outcomes were improving, but I don't have detailed data here.

that isn't what compensation means, and the amount of money it costs to improve your health outcomes is not much how much those improved outcomes are worth, it's how much you were billed
