Released this week, Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus’ (D-Mont.) health care reform proposal seems to have spared employers from an outright mandate to provide health benefits. However, the bill does include a pay-or-play provision – as in, provide coverage or pay up to subsidize coverage in the mysterious “exchange.”
As the Baucus plan is being (slightly) less attacked so far – granted, it’s only been a few days – perhaps it’s time for you to consider whether you’d like to pay or play, should that part of the bill pass.
