While only 7% of employees will be forced to switch to subsidized-exchange programs, at least 30% of companies say they will “definitely or probably” stop offering employer-sponsored coverage, according to the study published in McKinsey Quarterly.

So much for universal insurance. 7% will get it, while 30% of companies will stop offering coverage. How stupid is this?  :mental:
