> Single and married folks with families get paid differently. We pay ~3-4x more for healthcare for people with families than individuals.

They get paid differently, or they cost their employer differently?

“Gets paid more” means single employee makes $100k, employee with a family makes $150k.

“Costs the company more” means they are both paid a salary of $100k, but the healthcare insurance for the employer with a family costs $50k extra.

It costs the company more. It also provides value benefit to an employee with a family. I'm not sure that distinction really changes anything. :)

An important distinction.
