Healthcare Reform Magazine Link to more items from this source
Sept. 4, 2014
"While [Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC)] plans can eliminate the $2,000 penalty, employers should be aware that these plans do not protect them from the ACA's $3,000 penalty per each employee who goes to a public exchange and qualifies for a federal subsidy.
