One would also have to address the fact that, without the collective purchasing power of employers or the state, insurance companies would simply refuse to insure many of the people most in need. For example, I could not purchase private health insurance. I have a heart condition and diabetes. No company would cover me. Without employer-provided health insurance I would be destitute and, ultimately, dead, due to an inability to pay the costs of my health care out of pocket.
This is what I meant by "cream skimming, to the detriment of many of us," but you said it much, much better.
