Employers Offering ‘Skinny’ Health Plans to Avoid Obamacare Penalties | Heartlander Magazine:
"Contrary to the commonly held expectations that the new health care reform law would incease benefits, skinny health plans are now being pitched around the country by benefits advisers and insurance brokers.
They cover minimal requirements such as preventive services, and often little else.
Some of the plans don't cover surgery, X-rays, or prenatal care, and others will be paired with limited packages to cover additional services, such as paying out $100 a day for a hospital visit.
This type of plan allows companies with low-wage workers to avoid the $2,000-per-worker penalty for failing to offer insurance coverage."
