It would be pro-business, but not pro-insurance-business.
It would effect far more than just the insurance industry. The medical industry is 18% of the American economy. In other OECD countries it is as low as 6%, despite the fact that healthcare outcomes in those countries is actually better. So if we decoupled healthcare from employment, and instituted sensible policies instead, 12% of the American economy would disappear. That would require some major adjustments, and there are a lot of powerful special interests that would fight it every inch of the way.
