1. I'm not sure "tax subsidy" is the right term... but regardless

State employee's get the benefit of tax free receipt of health benefits, same as their private counterparts.

Since states don't pay taxes, the expense of the health plan is not deductible -- the same situation of any nonprofit, etc.
