Buy insurance or play the penalty?

Pay Tax vs. Provide Coverage?
• Penalty applies to every full-time employee (after the first 30). If no coverage is offered
• Penalty is avoided by offering affordable coverage with minimum value, even if employee declines.
• Cost of coverage applies only to those who take it.
