That sounds to me like America back in “the good old days.”

They dont pay slave wages. I worked for a large corporation and was able to retire early and comfortably
You are talking of the past. Once big corporations DIDN'T pay slave wages. Today they pimp for intervention into the market for labor by supporting flooding the country will illegals and guest works from third world countries. Even those in once high paying STEM fields now compete with illegals.
Dropping subsidized health care coverage is a de facto decrease in compensation. Free or subsidized health insurance was once a form of untaxed compensation. No more.

THis is why the cronies WANTED obamacare. The goal is to dump healthcare from their compensation calculations.
(footnote: crony Bloomberg is in damage control mode today. His reputation is garbage.)
Socialized medicine of Obamacare is about keeping citizens as serfs/slaves/thralls.

I believe you’re thinking about companies that hire lots of low wage employees.

Free or subsidized health insurance was once a form of untaxed compensation. No more. Well, yeah. If it wasn't "free" (whatever that means) and untaxed then employer-paid medical insurance never would have existed in the first place. There's never been a compelling reason for employers to be involved in the business of subsidizing medical insurance coverage for their employees. Conservatives should be thrilled with the idea of completely detaching a person's employment from his or her insurance situation. The days of the company town and the dopey paternalism of corporate America should have ended decades ago.

It isn’t a true marketplace in the free market meaning of the word. It’s more like ‘marketplace’ that NPR radio program that twists the free market into a socialist pretzel.
