For my friends in the US, when considering positions (this applies to either salary or contract positions) I've heard it's sometimes along the lines of, you can have X with healthcare, or Y with no healthcare.
Is there a ballpark or typical figure for that difference?
So, you're making $X,000 a year with typical family healthcare, you go to another place where they want to pay you with no healthcare - what's about the difference there, how much extra does a US salary maker see that as? Would it be $2k a year difference, $30k a year difference?
Conversely you're hiring some folks in the US - what's the typical difference in those offers?
Would it help here to make an example? What about a completely typical person w/ three children and a spouse and the putative salary is "100k", "with healthcare", or then "X""with no healthcare" - what do we reckon? Is there a ballpark X there? Business owners (among others) must deal with this constantly.
