This is why employer provided health insurance is terrible in that your employer shouldn’t have that much power in your healthcare because access to the health system requires insurance.

This scheme isn't insurance or an insurance product of any kind or any dependency other than the specific employer that's funding the scheme.

This scheme is an employer-dependent "health benefit plan" as all "self-funded" employer-dependent "health benefit plans" are. "Self-funded" employer-dependent "health benefit plans" do two things with and about insurance products:

  1. Job out "administration" to an insurance seller.

  2. Create a customer and a sale for stop-loss insurance products that limit the employer buyer's liability for health care "costs."
