MN Small Group Health Insurance Moving to 100 Employees

A big part of the Affordable Care Act is being implemented next year, and planning should begin soon for MN small businesses. Starting January 1, 2016, businesses with more than 50 full-time employees but less than 100 full-time employees are transitioning from the large group platform to the small group platform per Affordable Care Act requirements. What does this mean for those MN businesses offering group health insurance benefits?
