What would an equivalent benefit be?

Do you feel slighted that your health insurance covers some for cancer treatment or broken legs without providing the others with some "equivalent benefit"?

Higher pay for non-parents. Guaranteed sabbatical at work that isn’t tied to having a kid.

Health insurance is a gamble. Everyone on my policy goes into it making the same gamble. Some come out ahead, some don’t. That’s what gambling is.
