If an employer provides any payment towards health insurance (and you want it to be before taxes), it has to be properly set up, and not just added as a bonus or additional compensation. Hopefully one of the compensation exports or accountants can add additional info, but do check out this thread, which has some valuable info:

So, I'm changing jobs and the cheapest insurance I can see on Obama's site is about $10,000 a year. The tax is $2,000 a year. Why wouldn't I just pay the tax and pay out of pocket for my expenses? I'd save $8,000 a year. In 5 years, I'd have $40,000. Not too bad. Why the fuck isn't

If you have a 401k and an insurance company is the recordkeeper, it might be worth a few moments to check your contract to see if surrender fees apply to your plan. These are the dirtiest least discussed issues with hundreds of 1000's of 401k plans: If your plan does have these fees, then the question becomes.....whendo you fire your current providers. That is the real only question.
