The bill is pretty clear that companies who self insure with private insurance are going to be hit with the payroll tax if they choose not to offer Uncle Sam's HC plan. It's utterly ridiculous that the government can strong-arm a small company by taxing them like that.
I know no one really has the time to read the entire plan, but there is some scary stuff in it. I hope that if the govenment HC plan is ever passed that it is nothing like the current proposal.

Just had my paralegal review the above referenced sections.
The following is according to him:
SEC. 313. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS IN LIEU OF COVERAGE.
"Section 313 deals with Employer contributions to the public plan if the employer does not provide any health coverage, not necessarily the public option."
For people that wish to reference the actual bill:
