My fiancee works full time for an employer that has approximately 10 f/t employees. The owner never works. He has 2 sons that work full time in the company. I believe that they have medical insurance. If they are employees like the rest of us are, shouldn''t we be offered insurance as well ? How can I find out if they are insured or not ? I can''t believe that the owner would pay private insurance , he has a sick wife, and his sons are married with children. It makes no sense to me that he would not get business health insuarance, as I believe it would be cheaper for him. He received a letter in our checks this week telling him to get insurance on his own before december or he will have to pay a fine of $ 795.00 . I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you.
an employer is not legally required to carry health insurance for his employees
however, starting this year, if he does not carry insurance, he has to pay that fine/penalty you mention
