The employer's cost for my health insurance is largely irrelevant to me, the employee. There is zero reason that if my employer's cost was zero, that those dollars would be passed along to me unless the employment market forced them to.

But back to my original point, is that the quality and cost of health insurance on healthcare.gov is comparable to what employers offer (many times it is the same product sold by same insurer). And it is at the same cost, just the tax treatment differs when an employer pays for a portion of it.
