        It's a significant benefit to attract/retain employees with a value in the range of $1000/month for family coverage. Good business.

        If all businesses required to offer, how are any different?

        The ACA requirement is only for businesses with over 50 employees. This was about small business offering coverage.

        You missed the point. Small biz 49 has to compete w small biz 55, right? Why would someone work for 49 then? That's the tax.

        I understand your point. There may be some business holding off on hiring the 50th employee. Seems like an edge case.

        of course it's beneficial because it sets them apart to attract better employees...when offering it is VOLUNTARY and not mandated

        Under ACA, it's not mandatory for small business (under 50 employees).

        that's true, but a lot of them purposely don't expand because of it. @WSJ

        It depends on the type of employees; if you have skilled people, you are going to offer insurance anyway.

        true, but a job is a job though. If it gets offered and someone is hired, it fills a demand on both sides at that moment. @WSJ

        I agree, in a perfect world with universal health coverage this wouldn't fall on the employers. The ACA does have problems.

        all depends on what universal coverage means. Way it's implemented in most of the world has its own problems @WSJ

        The ACA should have removed the employer-health insurance connection. It allows patient better choices and employers less liability.

        How does a mandated benefit make any business competitive? If all MUST then not an advantage.

        If it was the right thing, why did it need to be mandated law?

        sometimes it requires law to do,cause people have hard time with new ideas. Call it human nature to argue first.
