No, why would it?
If i'm making $30k with health benefits, which will now be taxed at 25%, I would probably benefit if my employer dropped my health insurance, even increasing my pay, and I go on the government dole for health "care".
This ignores the fact that gov health "care" will suck, but when sometime is seen as "free" or "cheaper", people will probably be drawn to it.

Another option is not there to jump to. Once it is, I predict companies will just ditch healthcare anyway, just like they did with pensions, so the tax will be a moot point.

I totally agree, but my delima is that my employer pays 100% of my health care benefits and I am NEVER sick, I haven’t even called in sick for the last 4 years. I used have used the health insurance once for getting some stitches in my thumb.
