Bottom Line 15 Employer Considerations Does my plan meet minimum requirements? Is my plan grand-fathered? Is my plan affordable? What are my net costs today? Is the penalty cheaper? How will employees react? Will my employees be eligible for subsidies? What are the tax advantages to my business? Are benefits important for talent acquisition? How are we managing plan costs? Employee Considerations Is coverage cheaper on Marketplace? Is cost of insurance tax deductible? Does my spouse have access to insurance? Am I prepared to pay a penalty? How important is my doctor?
