31. So technically there is no employer mandate |

except that they have to pay a $2000 fine if they don't provide free insurance to the employees who qualify for subsidies? Which in the case of Wal-Mart is all their low level employees.
The part you left out is people only qualify for subsidies if they choose to use an insurance exchange or buy outside the company. So in essence no company can ever be fined. It's nice double speak that means nothing. Nice try.
This bill is a fucking mess, the rules are so fucking convoluted that any sane person would have a hard time making actual sense of it.
