What I was trying to express, poorly, is that the same benefits package is much more expensive to the smaller employer than to the larger one.
For me, what it meant was that I had to make a (relatively small) sacrifice to take a job. For others, it might be the difference between being able to work at a startup or stay with a soul-crushing big company.

So while it's true that someone with a preexisting condition might not be able to take a job IF the compensation wasn't high enough, it's irrelevant whether the compensation includes healthcare or if it doesn't.
