Eliminating the tax exclusion would greatly reduce the number of people who obtain health insurance through their employers," write the authors. "This decline would be driven by three factors: the effective price of employer-sponsored coverage would increase, the nondiscrimination rules would no longer apply, and low-risk employees would have less incentive to remain in employer-sponsored groups...the elimination of the income tax preference for employer-sponsored insurance would cause twenty million Americans to lose such coverage."
