I wonder if there is any way to offer medical insurance to them without the abortion stuff. There HAS to be a company out there that would offer insurance without paying for that kind of stuff. I just refuse to believe that there is not. It does not make sense to me. I wonder if this guy is using this as an excuse to drop the insurance or something. If I was the owner, I would be trying everything in my power to find some alternative. Plus doesn’t this mandatory insurance stuff begin in 2014???? Why is he sweating this now????
Of course there are companies that offer health insurance without abortion/sex change/sterilization/contraception/IVF treatments. The point is that the law now mandates that any employer who has more than 50 employees working more than 30 hours per week MUST by law provide health insurance coverage for them that pays for these things.

They already have tried everything. I've made a number of suggestions for a work-around too, but many of them (like making all the sales staff contractors rather than employees) is not allowed under the ACA. This letter was actually issued months ago, prior to the finding by the SCOTUS that they are not entitled to a religious exemption from the ACA (Obamacare) bill's mandates.

The benefits of coverage for the uninsured kick in in 2014. Many of the obligations for employers started on January 2, 2013. The fines of $1.3 million per day start now. I don't know about you, but that kind of money would make me sweat. It looks as though the Greens have the choices of either cutting all their employees back to 29.9 hours per week, which would represent a huge loss to their employees, or closing the company altogether.
