Dude $1150 per employee is literally nothing. That's less than $100/month, per employee, for health insurance.

Individuals should still have an option to choose a plan on the open market if they desire, but they're highly unlikely to find a plan for $100/month.

Ouch - that would certainly be a significant cost. Regardless, individuals should always have the option to buy a plan on the market. We really need to decouple health insurance from employment.
