2702 - Health care

So you have medical coverage through the Affordable Care Act because your job doesn't provide health care. Then you get a job that provides health care but it's worse than what the ACA provides. What to do.


22 (4) EMPLOYER-SPONSORED COVERAGE.—In the
23 case of an enrollee with respect to whom eligibility for
24 a premium tax credit under section 36B of such Code
25 or cost-sharing reduction under section 1402 is being

1 established on the basis that the enrollee’s (or related
2 individual’s) employer is not treated under section
3 36B(c)(2)(C) of such Code as providing minimum es-
4 sential coverage or affordable minimum essential cov-
5 erage, the following information:
6 (A) The name, address, and employer iden-
7 tification number (if available) of the employer.
8 (B) Whether the enrollee or individual is a
9 full-time employee and whether the employer
10 provides such minimum essential coverage.
11 (C) If the employer provides such minimum
12 essential coverage, the lowest cost option for the
13 enrollee’s or individual’s enrollment status and
14 the enrollee’s or individual’s required contribu-
15 tion (within the meaning of section
16 5000A(e)(1)(B) of such Code) under the em-
17 ployer-sponsored plan.
18 (D) If an enrollee claims an employer’s
19 minimum essential coverage is unaffordable, the
20 information described in paragraph (3).
21 If an enrollee changes employment or obtains addi-
22 tional employment while enrolled in a qualified 
23 health plan for which such credit or reduction is al-
24 lowed, the enrollee shall notify the Exchange of such 
25 change or additional employment and provide the in- 

1 formation described in this paragraph with respect to 
2 the new employer. 

So I guess we'll call and find out.

Oh, and the section 36B referred to above is a section in the Internal Revenue Service Code. The one we all have memorized. Right?
