"[This web page includes] a list of all states with a Federally-facilitated SHOP and provides information on whether each state will implement employee choice in 2015 or instead allow for transition relief. In total, 18 states with a Federally-facilitated SHOP will allow for this transition relief in 2015. The remaining 14 states with a Federally-facilitated SHOP will join most State-based SHOPs and have employee choice available to small businesses in 2015, doubling the number of states offering this option. In 2015, nearly two-thirds of Americans will live in states where small business workers can choose a health plan rather than have their employer do it for them."  MORE >>
