The ACA and Business: Pretty gentle in the end...

Great points from todays Wonkbook by Ezra Klein of the Washington Post:

"In 1974, President Richard Nixon’s health-care plan proposed
 forcing employers to pay 75 percent of the cost of basic health insurance for their employees, though there would be some assistance for smaller businesses. In 1994, President Bill Clinton proposed forcing employers to pay 80 percent of the cost of basic heath insurance for their employees, though a somewhat confusing series of caps meant that smaller businesses would end up paying much less."

The ACA 's requirement doesn't come close to those numbers...
