Employer provided healthcare bad for competition?

Whereas if healthcare went universal, he would likely not have people working for what he is willing to pay.  Then, in order to stay in business, he would be forced to pay a higher wage to attract employees.

Perhaps he could do that if the insurance cost less or he didn't have to provide it?
