One of the many many ways that the health insurance market doesn’t act like “real” insurance is through the use of self-insured plans by most large employers. When a plan is self-insured, it means the employer is paying all of the health care costs plus administration costs—not “just” premiums.

But, preferred by whom? “Preferred” drugs are preferred by the plan because they are less expensive or have better outcomes than other brand name drugs that may be highly-advertised (and may be “preferred” by the patient) but more expensive for the plan. It is no wonder employees are confused by these labels—they are created from the perspective of the plan, not the patient.
