In the Netherlands private health insurance is obligatory but not tied to an employer, however employers can negotiate better group policy deals or compensate somehow. My last employer for example paid a bit extra for me to chose my own (was a salary line item) and my current actually pays for one directly. The basic insurance is all the same regardless of provider, but they vary on secondary benefits.

For me at least, this wouldn’t really be a deciding factor among competing job offers.

Indeed and the "group discount" or in Dutch collectiviteitskorting has been banned recently. So there is even less of a difference now.
