Implementation
As you can see from the summary, implementation of the new bill will generally phase in between 2010 and 2014.
HHS is already beginning on working on regulations for implementation.
Many of the provisions in the law, however, are left to be implemented by individual states (especially the creation of regulation of the new Exchanges).
We expect a great deal of confusion by customers, industry, and even state officials as implementation unfolds.

Impact on Employers Employers with 50-plus full-time (30 hours per week or more) employees are subject to the following:
If an employer does not offer health insurance and has at least one employee who qualifies for a tax credit, the employer is subject to an annual fine of $2000 for each full-time employee.
If an employer does offer health insurance coverage but has an employee who goes to an exchange (because the employee’s share of the premium exceeds 9.8% of their annual income) or if the employer fails to offer the minimum health insurance coverage, the employer is subject to an annual fine of $3,000 per employee going to an exchange (maximum penalty is $2,000 for each full-time employee in your total workforce).
If an employer does offer health insurance coverage, the employer is required to offer a voucher to employees with incomes less than 400% FPL and whose share of the premium exceeds 8% but is less than 9.8 of their annual income who decide to enroll on a plan in an exchange. The voucher is equal to what the employer would have paid for the employee’s health insurance coverage. (CBO: 1-2 million employees would jump from employer coverage to the exchange.)
Employers may not impose a waiting period before their employees can enroll in coverage of longer than 90 days.
Employers with 200-plus full-time employees must automatically enroll their employees into health insurance plans.
