Here is a little item to watch out for, if and when you leave Amgen. When I left, I got COBRA for 18 months. I believe the payments were still handled by Aetna. A friend had told me that when the COBRA expired, I was entitled to CalCOBRA, which is a state mandated program. However, when it came to the finish line for the COBRA, I was told that since Amgen funded their own health insurance, I wasn't eligible for CalCOBRA. Begin a mad scramble to get my own policy. Don't fall into that situation.

I was told a few months ago that the average cost per employee's family was over $12,000
if this is true our company is stupid

You have to prove that you have the opposite sex's brain in your head by CA state law.

What big companies will shift the employee burden to the the National health care system in 2014?

Everyone will be pissed but Amgen will save over a billion per year by refusing to insure with medical coverage. I do not see how all this is going to work?
