Businesses could afford to stay here in america, not go out of business, afford pension plans, give pay raises, etc...so why aren't they championing this??

Has to be the fact that right now republican rule favors corporations with lots of tax benefits and other benefits...

I think it would help the small businesses the best because they can't afford health care at all. A lot of people hire part time totally for that reason instead of a few fulltime. It would definitely help small towns too. I live in small town where people are paid from 8-10 per hour and most places don't give health care. If that passed and the owners weren't going broke trying to pay their own medical they could afford to pay employees more.
