    Correct. I think bundling health insurance with employment is primarily to force everyone to work and artificially lower the cost of labor, but a side benefit of forcing everyone to live paycheck to paycheck is they have no time to agitate for change. Also you will be pepper sprayed in the face or beaten half to death by goons backed by the state.

      That bundle of insurance or benefits with work was originally a fringe benefit to inflate value of positions iirc, but in current times yeah I think you got it.
