All it does for me is call attention to the ridiculous proposition (or assumption) that health insurance should be considered a mandatory benefit offered and paid for by employers.

What makes it a ridiculous proposition. We have spoken as a society and made clear our expectation that we will be provided with affordable health care. The cost cna be borne either by employers, as a cost of the value of labor, or it can be borne by the state, as the ultimate provider of externalities. Are you suggesting national health care or suggesting that the members of a democracy don't have the right to decide on and demand that their health needs be addressed?
