That employees are not dependent upon the employer for his or her healthcare is a benefit to citizens. This was discussed in the development of this bill - "job lock". I am happy to see that private businesses are promoting participation on the exchanges. Good on Trader Joes, UPS, Walgreens, and good on Home Depot.

Home Depot, by the way, is run by a really nasty Reich winger. I don't shop there, but kudos where it is deserved.
