Why should the availability of health insurance be determined by whether one is employed, or married to someone who is?
As for the market, employer-provided health care is, from what I understand, principally an historical accident resulting from certain tax advantages combined with low costs of providing such years ago. If it were inherently sensibile, why do most countries that provide health care provide it through the government rather than employers?

It's not inherently sensible from a public policy perspective. From an employer perspective, it was used as an incentive to employees and to keeping a fairly healthy workforce, though certainly not the norm at the beginning.
