session, you will learn:
• An overview of the 2014 overhaul of the US health care system,
• What are the exchanges and who is eligible,
• What is the employer mandate and which employers are subject to the mandate,
• An explanation of the terminology associate with the mandate (free-rider penalty, shared responsibility
penalty, full-time employee, full-time equivalent, seasonal employee, etc.), and
• Strategies for minimizing/avoiding liability under the employer mandate.
