I can't really debate Obamacare, but I have yet to see a downside with it.
What am I missing here?

An employer/business can "write off" or expense legitimate business expenses like insurance. Meaning these expenses are deducted from profits before taxes are calculated. The only way she is "writing off" more is if her expenses are now higher.

What am I missing Dude?
