“No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance program created under this Act (or any amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal health insurance program expanded by this Act (or any such amendment), and there shall be no penalty or fine imposed...

This is interesting, and now I am curious.

I have 'retiree' benefits from a former employer but still work (took a package). Part of the benefit is I can participate in their health insurance from now on, including my spouse. I just pay the unsubsidized rates for the group plan, where employees get a subsidy. The company is self insured - they only use the insurance company to administer the plan.

Does that mean they offer group insurance?

That’s funny !!!

I think the “Operative” word is “Offering”.

I imagine the definition is “selling” not “providing”.
