This is no accident, folks. This was planned. This is how we get to government-run single-payer health insurance - by making it too expensive for private businesses to provide insurance to their employees.

That was the plan all along, but the gov't didn't have the money, expertise, or infrastructure to run that kind of system, so they needed to buy some time, perhaps a decade. Thus, we get the stop-gap system, Obamacare.

“by making it too expensive for private businesses to provide insurance to their employees.”

It’s insane already. Here’s a list of health bennies I was sent upon an interview with a prospective employer, $2000 deductible and 70% co-insurance with the employer contributing $450/mo. Not bad for just me but for those with dependents it’s horrible.

Employee Coverage per month: $582.56
Employee + Spouse per month: $1281.63
Employee + Child (ren) per month: $1106.87
Family Coverage per month: $1805.94

Indeed. No accidents here, given the stated long term goal. Obamacare is, and is meant to be, only a transitional temporary fix, setting up the ultimate single-payer government-controlled national health system.
