There is no “tax break.” It’s unlawful for me not to buy health Insurance for my employees (more than 50) and you aren’t allowed to shop the open market if you work for me. Average cost per employee is $1150 this year (up about 11% over last year). Thanks Obama.
Ouch - that would certainly be a significant cost. Regardless, individuals should always have the option to buy a plan on the market. We really need to decouple health insurance from employment.
