If they don't offer benefits, they're not obligated to have them, and anyone that doesn't like that idea has the right to leave without pay.
I've never accepted company paid benefits where I had an option - I don't agree that my employer should be paying for my benefits, as it becomes a matter of cost, as opposed to a matter of good healthcare. The Employer will seek the lowest priced reasonable healthcare available, whereas the employee would rather have additional care beyond what the company provides.
Or, in my case, I'd rather not have insurance at all. I've never found it necessary, and I manage to pay off all my bills each time I do (rarely) need to see a specialist, doctor, or make a hospital visit. The times that the option is available, I take the money, rather than the insurance. Cash does me better, anyway.

Safe enough to say we are on opposite sides. I sure wish I was lucky enough to never get sick, and I do everything I can to stay healthy. I eat right, I take vitamins, I just had my flu shot, and I am waiting for my SWINE Flue Shot, if I ever get a chance, and I happen to have a Chronic condition. Nobody stays healthy forever at any age. If and when you get sick I hope you have like a few million $ laying around.
We all have the right to die from lack of medical care, few will argue that one.
Cheers.
