They can't afford to take the insurance on what they are making. This isn't a dig at your company but you said they would need to pay $560/month out of roughly $400/week take home pay. That's just not affordable for them to do. It's not a choice of hey I don't need insurance, it's the same choice faced by most Americans. Pay rent, buy food or buy insurance.
If those same workers lived in MA, they would pay about $70/month for their insurance not $580. It's probably close to what they will pay once Obamacare is in effect. You are trying to compare Obamacare prices as if they will be the same as what is paid now, but the govt is subsidizing the difference if the employee doesn't make over X amount of dollars. Your employes will most likely fall in that category.
