Employer Mandate

The Employer Mandate refers to a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the United States that requires larger employers (with 50 or more full-time employees) to offer health insurance to their workers. If they do not provide coverage or the offered plans are not affordable or do not meet minimum standards, they may face penalties. The goal is to ensure that employees have access to affordable health care, thereby reducing the number of uninsured individuals and improving overall public health.
