What about the more than twenty-something workers? Does Google pay more for them?

I agree it might not be good for twenty-somethings. And I'm sorry, your expected value is low here. The tax situation makes this awkward, an ask I'd rather not make. But: I hope you're ok paying the taxes on this free benefit, if it includes older folk too. They do have- I'm sorry to report- an expected positive value.

In healthcare, a group-pool means the healthy & young pay a little more than their fair share. But it means we all can have benefits. And if catastrophe does happen, well, everyone's glad this is here.

I might cheekily throw in that we can possibly unwind some of the college-educated 0.3x multiplier, because Googlers have enough money to get themselves into some stupid & dangerous hobbies & travel. I wonder if that's actually real... Probably not.
