Actually, businesses love healthcare coverage. The most costly thing in a business (esp. tech) is recruitment. If you give awesome benefits, a lot of people might decide it's 'safer' to stick with your company even though they're burned out and would rather work for an exciting startup, or something.

Benefits are a tool to turn workers into slaves, and stop job mobility. Sure there are other benefits, but healthcare is the biggest and most costly. The better health a company gives the more likely employees are to stick with it.

Yep, don't forget that market friendly and business friendly (and especially big business) are two different things.
