Disagree on any employer requirement for healthcare. Employment and healthcare are two entirely different things.  

What employment is for is to make MONEY to buy things, like healthcare.  As such, encouraging employers to include money for healthcare as part of employee compensation makes sense.  Like HSA contributions, or other such methods.  But getting employers into the actual health insurance game was a mistake from the very beginning.  It's reduced choice for consumers and competition among providers.  And anytime you do that, it results in runaway costs.
