Not at all. But, that's frequently not the result of Obamacare.
Example: employer with fewer than 50 employees doesn't feel like negotiating for health insurance. So, he lets employees buy their own, then reimburses them for it. Sounds fine, right? Well, the ACA made this illegal and punishable by a fine of $100/employee reimbursed/day. Yep, a fine of $36,500/year for reimbursing an employee's health insurance.
But, that same employer isn't required by the ACA to offer health insurance. So, he stops reimbursing, and the employees are worse off than before.
I'm not making this up. I work in small business taxation and have seen this happen. It's crazy.
