Health insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment anyway. With the money these companies save by ditching it, they’ll be able to give their employees a raise, and the workers can negotiate for themselves on the insurance market. As it should be.

No Wolfie, they’ll keep the money and give the executives a bonus. Most of the workers won’t be able to negotiate as good a price with the insurance companies and so won’t be able to afford insurance.
I agree with your premise, but must disagree with your conclusion.
The result will be, as intended by those who crafted the law, the end of private insurance and the forced migration into government healthcare.
What they’ve done for school lunches they will soon do for your chemotherapy.
True, in a free market, workers should focus on wages and not health insurance benefits as they could do better buying health insurance that matches their needs on their own.
The problem with ObamaCare and employers ending employer contributions for employee health insurance is there is not going to be a free market for employees to shop for an insurance company offering a better deal. ObamaCare is a big sponge that will suck all money and regulatory power as to health matters to it and its government masters. Private insurance companies will end offering health insurance and shift to life, property,commercial and casualty line as health lines will be not economical to stay with.
