Two years, this law has been around, and still the factual ignorance of it's provisions is stunning.

Less than 1% of businesses will eventually have to pay fines, and those will be businesses over 50 employees, who can afford to provide health insurance but choose not to.

You know, where it would be cheaper for them to provide the health insurance than pay a fine?

Like any business enterprise, the increased costs of operation will be passed on to the (paying) customers as a whole.
Except the law makes insurance less expensive and money-saving for them.
