I was one of the people who lost insurance starting a new business - too rich to get subsidized (cutoff was/is >~50k/yr), too poor to pay the equivalent of a second mortgage for individual insurance because of runaway premiums on individual market post-ACA. And penalized a few grand for it come tax season until the mandate was effectively rolled back. Was more than supportive of that rollback.
It’s a risk management game for new business owners, and a big incentive for people to keep working for the man.
