89. My point is that otherwise, this will be a political negative
for the roughly 54% of the country that have employer paid insurance.

The companies will NOT gain as much as the full cost for everyone. They are not paying even the full cost for their employees now. I know my husband and I pay more than double the $3000 you are speaking of - and that is with the company paying money itself. Clearly the amount they now pay for insurance in aggregate, which is less than the full cost of all the employees cover, is nowhere near the cost of all their employees and all people not insured and those buying it themselves.
