Yeah...what you are missing is that you don't need to participate in it because you are already covered. This myth that keeps getting passed on by the right about how this is going to cost companies is a bunch of malarkey...to use Biden's phraseology. If they are already providing insurance for their employees, then they get tax breaks. If they are under 50, I believe...I could be wrong on the number...they are not required to provide insurance or pay a penalty. So this BS about it hurting small businesses is...well...BS. According to a WSJ survey of small businesses, small business owners overwhelmingly say that Obamacare is good for business and it helps to make them more competitive...it would be even more so if we had universal healthcare as that would the cost of company sponsored healthcare out fo the hands of the companies. You'd think that UHC would be a favorite with republicans as it is very business friendly.

It says "individuals and employees of small businesses" are eligible for exchanges. My company is huge. WHen i answer their questions, they tell me my best option is to go with my company provided insurance plan. It appears from this that I'm NOT as eligible for the exchanges as you are....?
