Let’s go with a hypothetical...

Suppose you have two employes - Jack and Jill

You could lay Jill and Jack off

Or you could get rid of Hussein

There is no legitimate reason for employer provided health insurance.

Your employer has little interest in your health. It's really none of his business - it's yours. Your productivity is his only concern. If you can't or wont do your job, you can be replaced. Therefore, providing health insurance is a burden & an unnecessary cost of doing business.

Employer provided insurance is no wonderful benefit for the employee, either. Your choice of insurance is limited to what the employer offers - take it or leave it. Employees often remain with a really bad employer & forgo new job opportunities because they fear a loss of insurance. Lower level employees often pay for free or enhanced executive insurance thru higher monthly payroll deductions.

If given the choice, I'll bet many employees would rather be paid that $15,000 a year, & shop for & buy their own insurance, or just keep the money & buy no insurance at all.

If health insurance was sold like car, home, or life insurance, consumers would have choices, which usually means lower prices & better products. The current system limits competition, which increases prices & lowers quality.

The free market has always be the best value for the consumer. Health insurance is no exception.

I have been in the employment of the same job for 16 years, they have offered a health care insurance plan several times and hardly anyone was interested, its a seasonal job and all everyone wants is all of the paycheck for the few months of work.

I don’t live in the big city where its a honeycomb of worker drones that must be kept healthy to supplicate the queen be or the whole hive suffers.

With the economy in such a disarray awaiting Obamas exit its a no brainer that most people are refusing to partake of having their paychecks whittled down bit by bit, but should an employer decide to just give the benefits away to retain worker loyalty then so be it.

It all boils down to the fear of a future Marxist state for America. Remove the problem is the only solution.
