The ACA employer
mandate is a requirement that all businesses with over 50 full-time equivalent
employees provide health insurance for their full-time employees or pay a
penalty this is intended to protect workers in companies with 50 full-time
employees from having their hours cut by companies seeking to stay under the
threshold. Because many long-term care
providers have relatively small staff the impact of this mandate will not
affect them however larger facilities will be impacted and it would be wise for
all to keep abreast of change in the Mandate.
