Robert Pear, writing for the New York Times:
Thousands of private employers and state and local government agencies have revamped their employee health plans to meet the law’s requirements. But AmeriCorps says that its members are technically not employees, and that it does not have to provide them with the “minimum essential coverage” they need to comply with the individual mandate. “There will be no changes to the AmeriCorps Health Care Benefits Plan,” Ms. Strasser wrote.
Absurd.
If there’s one truly ridiculous part of the ACA, it’s the part that mandates employers provide insurance, but then allows that insurance to be so bad it couldn’t be sold in the individual market.
