Nobody would by it because nobody could afford it.

The fact that health insurance has been tied to an employee's benefit package for decades has made the real cost of health insurance hidden to that employee. Same thing with automatic tax withholding. People have become too lazy to care about such things and Government is more than willing to remove that burden from you....for a fee.

Bringing these costs out to the forefront may indeed lead to a lowering of all healthcare costs.

Bringing these costs out to the forefront may indeed lead to a lowering of all healthcare costs.

Why should it? How will removing the employee contribution to healthcare premiums reduce insurance company costs? Or doctor costs? Or hospital costs? Or pharmaceutical company costs?
