ACA Title 1, Sec. 1515. Offering of exchange-participating qualified health plans through cafeteria plans: “Ugly” – Why exclude them? This provision does not make sense to me. It prohibits employers from offering “certain” exchange-participating qualified health plans from being offered through a Section 125 Cafeteria plan. I don’t understand why. Wouldn’t you want qualified health plans to be offered to employees through the tax advantaged form of a Section 125 cafeteria plan? Doesn’t make sense. I vote to get rid of this feature – if you want market competition enhanced across the board why not dump this limitation. Let qualified health plans compete in Section 125 offerings.
