Right now, if they drop coverage they are at a competitive disadvantage because almost everyone gets their insurance from their employers.

After Jan 1st, 2014, if they stop offering the benefit, they can pay a measly $2000 and let the government pick up the rest. Voila, health care for all your employees without paying for it.

no, they will still pay more in the future for not providing coverage than they do now

there is no penalty or requirement to fulfill if they don’t provide coverage now
