Well, if one takes the position that healthcare costs are part of an employee's compensation package, then one must also say that healthcare costs are, in actuality, paid for by the employee. So, then, the worst one could say is that employers are now forced to give their employees raises. I wonder how many employers with over 50 employees all working over 30 hours a week actually don't provide any kind of healthcare for them. It'd have to say they're in the minority, although I may be wrong.
Of course, those companies could, sans contract, just lower everyone's wages to cover the new cost of healthcare. Nothing saying they couldn't...
They may just happen.
