The cost for the company will be cheaper than having employer funded health care.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. In the long run, the overall quality of healthcare will suffer under Obamacare. It will take longer to get routine treatment; usual illnesses will be prolonged; perhaps the number of employee-hours to seek and receive treatment at all will increase.

In companies where employees can be easily replaced, this may not be a big issue. In companies that hire skilled professionals, they won't be able to be competitive, knowing that employee "healthcare time" out of office could significantly increase.

But illegal aliens and uninsurable druggies will have greater access than they do now. Some have to suffer for the common good and some people are more equal than others. < / sarcasm >

You may be correct, and I suspect you are. But that is not what the HR guru’s are saying. They also view it as a plus, since then there would be no competition for benefits.
