The only plus that these businesses have now is that they can control what they can of costs by changing and bidding out their health plans with different companies. When Mr Bammy and his friends get a hold of it, it will be "pucker up, buttercup..", just like the rest of us.
If we all don't fight this...man, woman, company, employer, employee...we are all up the creek..
“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.
