The employers had made a perfectly logical decision: dumping their employees into the public plan.

100% agreement on the above. Bullseye!

There is no logical reason for employers to be the source for family health care.

They are the source for family income. One item a smart family should buy is health care. Another item is car insurance. It makes no more sense for an employer to provide health insurance as it does to provide car insurance.

They are individual responsibilities.

Once government got involved in healthcare via Medicare in the 60’s, the cost of healthcare skyrocketed as did the cost of insurance. That’s when most employers started offering it as a benefit. I would like to see reform in the area of lawsuits which also added to costs. Also Medicare/Medicaid reform. Also insurance pools that will help keep costs down. If the government is allowed into healthcare any more than it already is, they will simply use incrementalism to take over that whole segment of our economy. With expected disastrous results....
