This new research suggests that neither the ACA's fiercest critics nor its most devout proponents are quite on point. If you are currently insured through your employer, you can decide to keep your plan -- but, if you meet certain income requirements, you may not want to. As a consequence of two poorly understood factors, subsidies in the new law could incent millions of employees to willingly shift from an employer plan to a government-subsidized insurance exchange[.]

Excerpt: Where possible, employers will react to HIA by shifting costs onto workers in the form of lower wages. In the case of the least skilled workers, however, wage shifting is simply not an option.... [D]ue to the California minimum wage, employers will be unable to shift the cost of the mandate onto 550,000 employees. These employees are at risk of losing their jobs, either through labor force cuts or competition from more experienced workers attracted by the new benefits.

"Proponents have portrayed the law as all gain and no pain. But a careful look at the experience of the other jurisdictions that have adopted such requirements -- including San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Connecticut, and Seattle -- shows that paid sick leave mandates come with notable side effects and few benefits."

Paul Fronstin, Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI], in Benefits Quarterly via the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists [ISCEBS]
Apr. 29, 2020
12 pages. "There are pros and cons of having an employment-based health benefits system. Furthermore, it is debatable as to whether there is an alternative to the employment-based system, such as single payer health care, that would produce higher quality care, better service and lower price. This article explores these issues in greater detail."
