Confidential health benefits

I had an interview with this company last year that went fine, pay was typical for the position but was much closer to my home than my current job. As we sit down to discuss terms, I ask about the health benefits. I'm then told they cannot disclose health benefits until after I sign on with the company. Mind you, this is a large company owned under Mars. I don't know about yall, but I consider health benefits part of “compensation”. It's important! I take chronic medications and need to know how much of my remaining paycheck I'm going to sink into deductibles after I already pay the insurance company their monthly fee. Needless to say, I declined the position. They frantically tried to give me “logical” reasons as to why and tried to schmooze me into the job. Obviously, it didn't work.
