OWING the taxes for the health plan payments

Taxes are calculated after the amount for the health plan is deducted from a pay check because what is paid to the health plan is not taxable. But at the end of the year the total for the health plan payments is included in the gross (wages, tips, other compensation) along with the taxes that were calculated and deducted from every pay check AFTER the health insurance payments. Doesn't this make it seem like taxes were NOT paid on the payments for the health plan so you end up OWING the taxes for the health plan payments, same as any other taxable income? Can somebody PLEASE explain this to me? Thank you.

Pre-tax deductions should not be included in the Box 1 amount on your W-2. If they are, contact payroll.
