If companies want to offer their employees an insurance that covers every single thing, and insurance companies want to sell them that kind of coverage, then let them go ahead. If a company does not want to offer that, for whatever reason, then that is their decision. If people don't want to work for that company, then they don't have to, etc.... Freedom. That's all.
