The big businesses (who can buy in bulk) get a pretty reasonable deal for what they get. The smaller companies who cannot bargain the price down get screwed. (The rate my wife's employer was paying was close to double what my insurance costs and it covered ALOT less.)
I seriously doubt that most people could afford to self-insure at the going rate. (Not unless they have some serious income they want to get rid of.)
Think of this as "evolution in action" <G>
