Very true. And that fits the capitalistic model. Volume pricing will always get a better deal than you can get on your own.

True, but they can charge you higher premiums based on your individual case to offset the standard and set fee the employer pays for your insurance. The employer certainly is not going to pay more. And each year the insurance company can and does increase premiums to the employee with little change or in many cases less coverage.
