I think you and the person you're replying to are in agreement; what they very likely meant by "health is none of an employer's business" is that the act of insuring people should not be part of an employer's business.

It shouldn't be (IMO), but it currently is, and there's no sign that's going to change soon. The American people have consistently voted to keep things the way they are, and resisted attempts at decoupling employment from health insurance. Therefore, since the American people have saddled employers with this responsibility, I feel the employers have every right to your health information.
