As a requirement, yes. But small businesses could still offer that to their employees. My hope is that eventually all employers will do that and we will get our own insurance with our own options just like we do with auto-insurance. What I really hate about our current system is that we are stuck with the options offered us by our employer who chooses plans based on cost, not based on employee preferences.
I know the exchange in Michigan is going to have a lot more available on the individual and family market than what is currently available. And the resources being poured into improving customer service and quality are incredible, since there will be more competition. This has really kicked insurance companies out of complacency.
