It may be desired by "employers" but does it make sense from the overall 
needs of the capitalist system for such a large proportion of the GDP to 
be associated with health care? If this system was more Spartan, it 
would find ways to reduce these costs to a minimum. Insurance companies 
are basically parasitic. Of course, that's the general drift of American 
capitalism. Aetna instead of infrastructure renewal.
