Is Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance On Life Support?

(CBS/AP) Is employer-sponsored health insurance on life support?

A new survey shows that one out of every 10 midsized and large companies say they'll stop offering health insurance once federal insurance exchanges kick off in 2014, according to the survey, which was conducted by consulting firm Tower Watson.

That number may grow, since the survey found an additional 20 percent of the companies still don't know what they're going to do.

Of course. It's all going according to plan! Part of the intent of Obamacare is to destroy private (for-profit) insurance.
Oh, wait! Obama said "You'll be able to keep your current insurance." Or was I out of the room when he flip-flopped on that one and the press didn't report it.
