Why should major corporations have the burden of supplying health insurance in America

Why should major corporations have the burden of supplying health insurance in America?
They don't need this extremely expensive burden in other countries and shouldn't have to provide it in America.

Isn't it time to make America more competitive with other countries by not expecting companies to provide money toward health insurance benefits?

Why stop at healthcare insurance ? Why do we have to pay them at all ?

I don't think we should force any burden on anyone too weak to carry it. We'd just cause a lot of collateral damage by doing so. Should corporations have to shoulder the burden? Probably not, but that's what we're going to do, because we have to be competitive in the global marketplace, and an unhealthy workforce doesn't lead to a superior product.

Actually, the major corporations are the ones that started offering insurance to their workers in the first place. So they have nobody to blame but themselves. I'm not making this up. They started offering it because they they thought it would br cheaper for them in the long run.

Those other countries that don't have expensive employer based health plans usually have universal health insurance. Which way do you want it?
5 :
It's an incentive to attract talented employees.

That, or maybe we could just stop sitting around talking about how to compete with other countries and go do something of productive value.
