Legislative Update from the American Supply Association
Within the controversial Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a provision tucked away that would have promised more rate hikes for small businesses.
Traditionally, the decision to expand the definition of a small group market has been left to the states. Until passage of the ACA, the small group market has been defined as 50 or fewer employees, but that changed to include business with up to 99 employees. The 99-employee threshold is scheduled to begin this January.
