Health insurance still is part of benefits packages companies compete on when hiring employees.

The republcans have lost on every single thing they fought and badmouthed Obama on, from the economy on down to healthcare, energy, etc.

The only people I have met who do not like Obamacare, too expensve, are those living in states WITHOUT tneir own exchanges in tne south, where only one or two companies "compete" through the federal website. But then, you check put NY, for example, and there are over 20 companies competing and offering all kinds of packages at competitive prices. It is by republican design in those states whose republican governors are doing the damage to their own constituents. And that's ne reason thry hate Kasich, be ause he took. Edicaid money for Obamacare. He still doesn't have an Ohio exchange. That's why he's a no good jerk.

Obamacare Didn’t Ruin Employer Coverage

Despite predictions that the Affordable Care Act would cause employers to drop employee coverage and force their workers to acquire it independently, The New York Times reports that most companies continue to provide health insurance. According to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, around 155 million Americans had employer-based coverage in 2016. The Kaiser Family Foundation also released data last month that is said to show the percentage of adults under 65 with employer-based insurance has remained steady for the last five years after steadily declining since 1999. Even while Obamacare has succeeded in insuring millions of low-income Americans, companies have apparently kept offering coverage because they get sizable federal tax breaks for doing so and because desirable candidates and employees continue to expect it.
