Employer Mandates for Health Insurance?
The Suffolk County (N.Y.) legislature has approved a bill that would mandate large employers to contribute funds to employee health insurance. The legislation calls for $3 per employee per hour to be contributed to a fund that will go toward health insurance.
Though not the first of its kind, this bill would be the first to be enacted if the county executive approves it rather than issuing a veto, which was the case with a similar bill in Maryland.
