Why? Disagree with your reasoning, it's not about per-capita, it's about absolute numbers in the risk pool and ability for a large actor like CA to better negotiate prices down.

Why do you think Apple gets better prices than, e.g. Logitech for component parts? Because they order massively more, up-front, and with strict timetables for delivery.

Costs are still per capita. We will only be able to negotiate so much and we'd be negotiating with providers rather the insurance companies.

To be very clear, I think CA can afford this and I think we should do it.
