Beginning in 2014, employers with 50 or more full time employees are required to provide "affordable" (as defined by the government) health insurance to their full time employees. All plans must meet Obamacare guidelines with regard to minimum essential benefits, deductibles and out of pocket limits.
If they fail to comply with the law they will be fined.

Currently employers are not required to offer health insurance to its employees. Come 1/1/2014 these rules will be changing. Companies with 51 or more full time employees will be required to offer a group policy that meets minimum requirements set by the government. Groups with 50 or less FTE however will not be required to provide benefits. Many small companies will be dropping expensive group plans and seeking other arrangements.
