I agree with you completely.
The problem is that the employer based system is so entrenched that it is impractical and nearly impossible to change it all at once, particularly since employers are paying, on average, about 2/3 of premium costs for employees.
It will take more that just increased competition, but some regulation of costs/benefits as well.
