There's no magical formula to making the insurance cheaper. You may be able to cut a little here or there, but the cost of a doctor is the cost of a doctor. But what you want is for someone to flat-out pay for your insurance for you if you're unemployed. And that's bullshit.
If you want insurance when you're unemployed, I offer you three choices: save your cash while you're working and resist the temptation of that shiny red pickup, get another job, or go without. Another option to get cheap, basic insurance while you're looking for another job. Maybe you just can't afford the high-line insurance if you don't have an employer willing to help you pay the premium.
In sum, you lazy redneck fuckers need to give up on your dream of having another taxpayer pay your way through life. Ford's had the welfare dream his whole life, and look where it's gotten him: fat, disgruntled, and stupid. Look where it got JHale - he became the boy who cries racism.

Quite frankly...
You would be better off taking the higher wage...seeing as how employer payed insurance is basically part of your wage package.
When your employment ends...you lose the insurance with your wage.
So...you would be further ahead taking a higher wage...letting the gov. rasie the tax rate to pay for single payor...and you are always covered...as would your family...forever.
