As in healthcare is very expensive over there and that most of it is tied to the employer.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

It is expensive but salaries are also higher. Most people pay a few hundred at max per month on several thousand dollars of salary.

I am not sure what you mean by saying "constitutes the bulk of benefits in the US"

Do you mean outside of plain salary, medical benefits are the highest?

I think that may be more correct.

But even that may not be universally true. For folks in software, at least matching retirement benefits will outweigh medical benefits

Yes, I'm not counting the salary as a benefit.

I'm not really familiar with US pension plans so I stand corrected.
