I guarantee that whoever he works for sees his health insurance as part of his "total compensation package". It's simple expense accounting. My ultimate (not possible) solution? Make employer insurance illegal, and require the employers to increase wages by the exact cost of their insurance "benefit". You want a free market; you got it. The insurance companies would freak out. They would actually have to figure out what their consumer wants, and they would actually have to figure a way to cut their prices and compete. But that's a pipe dream.... not going to happen.
