Group insurance does not have to be available solely from employers. Why can't trade groups, businesses, professional groups pool their members and buy insurance? I am intimately familiar how employers, insurance companies and consulting firms go behind closed doors and come up with take it or leave it plans. I can't believe you are for such a system? My total insurance cost is $16,000/yr according to what HR tells me. Give me that money, and change tax laws accordingly, and I will make Aetna cry at my feet to get my business.
