Insurance through employer is not a “no cost to us”. Employer is taking a significant chunk out of your income and giving it to insurance company. Government has already made insurance “self-funded” through HSA as well. So first few thousands dollars are coming directly out of your pocket.

I understand that's objectively true. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch", etc.
Practically, it's hard to think like that. I don't know what her employer was paying the insurance company for premium subsidies or the care we received.
