The answer: to attract high-quality employees. I doubt there are many CEOs out there dumb enough to think they can dump their employess coverage and successfully pin it on Obamacare. They may have used that as a scare tactic before the election, but I doubt you see this happening too much. After all, the purpose of offering eployees healthcare is to make your business competitive with competitors who offer the same, and that environment is not going to change. If some CEO dumps coverage, he's going to watch the quality of his work force deteriorate as his pissed off top employees migrate to competitors.
yeah but its not hard to find people who can work at a ****ing pizza chain. That is the point they aren't skilled enough to warrant spending that money. People with real skills won't have trouble getting employer based insurance. I agree they will offer it to be lure great workers. You can forgot about unskilled workers being treated like that. They go to the exchanges now.
