Another Obamacare Glitch Allows Employers to Offer 'Substandard' Insurance

There's another glitch in Obamacare, according to a Washington Post report: "A flaw in the federal calculator for certifying that insurance meets the health-care law’s toughest standard is leading dozens of large employers to offer plans that lack basic benefits, such as hospitalization coverage, according to brokers and consultants." The calculator is mainly used by self-insured employers and will allow employers to avoid getting fined as much as $3,000 per worker next year.
