No, I don’t think there is an employer mandate. But an employer can provide private insurance. Nowhere does it say an employer must provide Obamacare. They did so because (in theory) it was cheaper-—but if there are no exchanges, then it not only won’t be cheaper, but it won’t be available at all. They will have to go private.

Thanks for the input, I don't think I was being clear. I was referring to the mandate that an employer, who employees more than 50 people, must provide insurance or face a 2k+ penalty, per employee over the first 30 employees. When you were referring to "employer mandate" in your response up thread that is what I thought you were referring to.

I will now diminish and go into the west...
