“”I current hold a job that provides me with excellent health insurance.””
“So, for now, it’s a moot issue.”
No, it’s not moot unless he has a guarantee from his employer that they will ALWAYS provide health insurance coverage for their employees. Who believes that is going to happen? What is an employer going to choose? Paying thousands of dollars per year in premiums for coverage or a fine?
No employer guarantees ANYTHING unilaterally if it can help it.
There are many instances of firms stopping health care coverage for retirees... if said retiree retired before 62, then they’re SOL and have no coverage till they reach 62.
This ruling will hit them square in the pocketbook...
