This can be a good thing or a bad thing but you guys seem to think it's all a bad thing. Many employers have inadequate health plans in place and one has to wonder if Obamacare will be a better option for their employees. Also, there is no faster way to lose your best talent then to drop health coverage altogether without an adequate or better replacement in place.

Remember why we have employer provided healthcare plans? Yeeeees, the light bulb in your head is flashing right about now isn't it?

That statement is one I don't get. The law mandates what has to be provided in these plans so how can they be inadequate when they are forced to provide the coverages?

I'm talking as it stands...many employers' plans are sub-par so they might drop their plans altogether in favor of ObamneyCare instead of vamping up their plans.
