There is no “tax break.” It’s unlawful for me not to buy health Insurance for my employees (more than 50) and you aren’t allowed to shop the open market if you work for me. Average cost per employee is $1150 this year (up about 11% over last year). Thanks Obama.
- synaesthesisx 5y agoDude $1150 per employee is literally nothing. That's less than $100/month, per employee, for health insurance. Individuals should still have an option to choose a plan on the open market if they desire, but they're highly unlikely to find a plan for $100/month.
- NoblePublius 5y agoSorry, that’s $1150 per month.
- synaesthesisx 5y agoOuch - that would certainly be a significant cost. Regardless, individuals should always have the option to buy a plan on the market. We really need to decouple health insurance from employment.
