High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) tend to scare the crap out of many employers.

The second bill permits families to cover their young adult dependents through age 29 under their job-based insurance (Parents concerned about their mid-twenties child’s health care can now cover that child till 29. However, that child must be considered a dependent for tax purposes).

This new legislation states “Businesses that do not offer health coverage to their workers would pay an 8 percent payroll tax to help subsidize coverage …” And by “subsidize” they mean make you pay for the Public Plan.
