ACA Repeal
Efforts Continue |
 |
|
The repeal of the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be
dead for now but efforts to roll back elements of the law
has just started.
|
|
A new bill [S.
1750: American Job Protection Act] was
introduced to remove the Federal mandate on employers to
offer health insurance.
|
|
The ACA requires employers with 50 or more employees to
offer health insurance to their employees.
This has been an impediment to growth because of the
added financial burden that small businesses will have to
take on once they cross that threshold.
|
|
Another bill [S.
1749] was also introduced to remove the
individual Federal mandate that require individuals to
purchase health insurance whether or not they want it.
|
|
Both mandates imposes a fine on businesses and individuals
if they do not comply with the law. |
