Employers would drop their own healthcare costs the day government healthcare goes into affect. I'm a bit jaded, but I honestly doubt they would then turn that "profit" back to the employee with a pay raise to overcome the increased tax burden the government would impose on them.
So the 80% or whatever Americans actually have healthcare will take it from both sides as a result.
