You are right, it comes down to the bargaining power of large corporations. The hourly rate of the tutoring gig was higher, but I would also have been paying a lot more for insurance, so it would even out. I also have to take brain medications which complicates things, because a lot of insurance plans don't provide good mental health care coverage, adding a layer of complexity to my decision making process.

For example, even if plan A and plan B cost the same amount out of my pocket, but Plan B does not cover my medications until after a $5,000 deductable, it really isn't helping me because all of my medications added up over a year come to just under $5,000.

There are so many layers of bureaucracy and complexity and institutional inertia keeping this exploitative system moving, it really needs to just be burnt to the ground so we can start fresh.
