2. Are There Any New Small Business Health Insurance Options?
Yes. According to Zane Benefits' website, there are two new options for small business health insurance: the SHOP Marketplaces and Pure Defined Contribution Health Benefits.
3. Do Employees Have to Buy Insurance?
According to Zane Benefits’ website, yes. Or, pay a tax penalty (aka the "individual mandate" or "individual shared responsibility payment").
4. Are There New Health Benefits Reporting Requirements for Small Businesses?
According to Zane Benefits’ website, yes. Even though small businesses are exempt from the employer mandate, there are new reporting requirements that may (or may not) apply.
