Title I. Quality, Affordable Health Care for All Americans
Employer Responsibility
Larger companies that offer coverage must automatically enroll any new eligible employees. Any company with 50 or more employees that does not offer coverage and whose employees access taxpayer supported health programs will be required to help offset the costs to the American taxpayer.
No small business owner will be required to enroll an employee or to offset health costs to taxpayers. As mentioned earlier, small business owners will receive incentives to cover employees through tax credits and enjoy greater buying power and insurance choices in the exchanges.
