ACA Title 1, Sec 1558. Protections for employees: “Good” – Provides general protection to employees. This provision provides general protection to employees that utilize either premium credits or subsidies under the ACA. This statutory provision prohibits employers from discharging an employee because of their use of these features of the ACA. Seems like a way to prevent an employer from firing employees that utilize the credits or subsidies included in the Act. Would be better balanced if it also protected employers from employees that make intentional or unintentional misstatements about their coverage.
