I pay close to $100 every pay (it would be $300 if I included my son and wife), now because of that I would love to find a market open for individuals and be able to pay a lower premium. But that is not available.
Instead of government coming in and taking over, entering my life and soon making decisions because they have to now worry about medical costs.... why not subsidize a market for individuals. IT takes the burden off the employer, allows the individual to decide how much coverage how much he/she wants to pay.
Why should a 25 year old pay the same amount as me for health insurance? I admit, I'm older and more of a risk, especially with a known condition (Sarcoidosis). Maybe the employer can have several programs through different companies to choose from and you pick what is best for you.
There are so many other options government could have gone and taken that would have been far cheaper and better fo ALL PEOPLE. The one they chose to jam down our throats is wrong, plain and simple.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
