One In Ten Employers Might Drop Healthcare In 2014

One in ten midsized or bigger employers will stop offering health insurance once insurance exchanges begin operating in 2014, according to a new survey, the AP reports.

Towers Watson surveyed more than 1,200 companies to come up with the number; another 20 percent said they are “unsure” what they’ll do after 2014.

The result, the AP says, suggests “some businesses feel they will be better off dropping health insurance coverage once the exchanges start, even though they could face fines and tax headaches.”
