No they don't. They add it to his hourly cost and mark it up accordingly and pass it on to the costumer. I think he's service related. Service related people aren't viewed as corporate overhead.

Every HR professional will tell you, the total cost of an employee to a company is based on pay and benefits.  Nothing gets passed on,  That's nonsense.  Customers have no vested interest in paying for employee benefits.

Or, to put it another way, everything gets passed on including pay.

Yes, I know that's the conservative mantra, but the real world works entirely on low-cost or best value basis, depending on the good or service.  Both those models contain no calculus for pay and benefits, only being cheaper and better than the competition.

Do I use/need health insurance enough to pay the price for it or sacrifice something else that's already being paid for to afford it? The group that's an important real world factor that you've ignored and don't show much sympathy for and often treat me as being one. Sooner or later, you better take my age (year of birth) more seriously because we are probably on the verge of dethroning the hippies and ushering in an era of American pragmatism. I see 50 some progressive Democrats have decided to place themselves on ignore as they symbolically join hands with the stop America from uniting, shifting its focus on middle America and becoming great again.
