clinic and doctors are not held for mistakes which causes improper care for those who need the insurance yet people have died and the company or doctors are not held responsible for such actions.

This might not be the answer but Private (and Public) Companies can self fund Insurance which means yes they own it. They may hire a 3rd Party to administer such as United Health or BCBS but the bottom line it's the Company paying all the claim. Liability for proper care is not something they can opt out.

A private company can do anything they wish to do. Is there any law saying that they must provide you with health benefits? If you would look how much they pay for your health care it is phenomenal. So if they provide on site health care, it is probably because you have a high accident rate or working with special chemicals.
Be glad you have something.

What you describe is what's called being self-insured and it's not illegal. Any company can be self-insured, but it's usually the bigger companies that are. Being self-insured saves them lots of money in insurance premiums.

I guess anything is possible. That is what we will have for a healthcare plan if Hillary has her way.
