I hope you see the distinction between percentage of closely held companies, which IS 90% according to several news sources, but it, indeed, a very small percentage when you're talking number of workers, not number of companies. It takes a lot of small companies to equal one big company. I hope that clears that issue up. Thank you.

I highly doubt that the ACA mandate ever applied to 90% of the companies even before this ruling, since only companies with more than 50 full time employees were required by the ACA to furnish health insurance or face fines. I would guess there are many, many more companies with less than 50 full time employees than there are companies with more than 50 full time employees AND closely held. I would like to see the source of your information.
