The real plan is to make it attractive for all small businesses to simply pay the fine to the government per employee then pay the employee some amount of what they would have paid to an insurance co. The employee then can purchase insurance or also end up paying a fine to the IRS.

This will be the end of private insurance companies for the middle class and lead to a takeover of health care by the government. The big plan is then to unionize that 6% of the economy.
