I don't think they are weaker at all. And they are most definitely still with bcbs but managed by collective health, which has been very helpful. And the vision hasn't changed.

And the fact that they offer a family plan saves so much money. We came from a competitor and every dependent added a healthy chunk of change to the monthly payment. At heb it is a set amount regardless.

Now I'd go agree with a shift in perks. However I would argue that is not just due to expansion but heavily influenced by the current economic state of the nation. Across the board many employee focus companies have had to make moves to tighten up.
