Just as a point of reference, it cost less to attend medical school in Texas (tuition and fees) than it does to pay for health insurance.

That's a little bold. In-state resident tuition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is $13,000 per year. That times four years is $52,000. If an employee pays half of $1,528 per month ($764), then the cost of going to medical school is the same as the cost of health insurance, over the course of 68 years for two people.
