They may, does this not still hurt the lower middle class (who, even with the bump doesn't come close to the 64k threshold) while his co-worker attains middle class and the subsidy just b/c his wife likes to get out of the house?
Do you really think the bump would be sizable enough to compensate for the loss of insurance? If so, that's bad business on the owner's part b/c the co-worker with the working wife just got a sizable raise.

That's my point, they won't maintain coverage so they can pocket the difference. Shocking, an employer looking to help his own bottom line
