No but employees would be complaining to their HR departments about how their husband/wife/dependant died or was otherwise harmed by the inability to get timely care. Or about how they had to go out of network to get care and pay more money.
Now if unemployment is high, the employer may not care about keeping employees happy and stay with the insurer. But if management is getting the same crappy insurance as the worker bees, then management might care and want to switch to a better plan.
The problem is the excess capacity in the system.
