The right thing to do for many corporates.An employer should not have to be the insurance business as well as why they are in business in the first place. Most of the best medical was gained by the hard work of Unions as a comparison / perk / negotiation to the union contract, outside of that better policy's can be found on the private market by the employes themselves.

Not if we have to settle for something that costs more but offers less. If that's the case, most would want their employer insurance back.
So let's see what happens ... or if Obama will score more pinocchio awards for his lies on what this costs us.
My employer has firmly stated that they will not change, reduce or drop our coverage. We have great coverage which is free to the employee, unless they add a spouse and/or children to their plan in which case we pay premiums on them.
I think it would be nice if our nation could provide some kind of very basic coverage to every citizen. But I also think they really bungled the attempt. Everything about Obamacare from what I've heard, is horribly broken.

A good company that offers great health insurance can attract better workers.
If I were offering it through the business, I'd have to drop it - it's too expensive.
Here's what the cheapest plan on the Nevada exchange costs an individual:
That EXACT SAME plan, if purchased through the business:
That's a 339% price increase for the SAME PLAN, simply because it's being offered through the business.
You bet your arse that I'd take the penalty over providing insurance for my employees, if we were big enough to have to face that. It makes no financial sense to do anything else.
