“Business has always wanted to get rid of the burden of health care.”

That’s because business wants to do business.

“how long is it going to be before all these businesses that drop health care see the “penalty” that they pay be just as much, if not more than having a health care plan on their books. 5 years? 10 years?”

Long enough to move their operations someplace where the cost of doing business is much lower.

“Funny how the word employee isn’t used much any more?”

The term ‘employee’ hints at a permanent contractural relationship between the worker and employer. In the new world corporate statist order, workers have no status or permanance.
