Firms with in excess of  200 employees has to provide health coverage plans for their  workers and their families as dictated by law. Meanwhile, employers with 20 to 49 workers alone would be exempted from this proposition not until directions were given as soon as possible. The amount would need employers to pay at least eighty percent of the cost, leaving the workers to pay the remaining twenty percent. Contributions for low-income workers, however, will require for a five percent deduction from their pay. Businesses and restaurants called this a hard hitting measure and if this will be the law’s new policy, a lot of firms would go under or lay off some workers.
