Now an employee becomes a liability. You won't get dumped on an Obamacare exchange. You will just get dumped. Especially if you don't represent a good revenue stream for the company vs your salary/wage expense.

Businesses on the edge of the "50 employee" limit will start outsourcing some jobs. Low-skill jobs will be handled by a worker-rental place like Labor Ready, rather than by employees. High-skill employees will be shifted to a separate company, and will be "consultants" to their former company. Etc.
