The subsidies are based on income, and they are available to people who do not have access to affordable health insurance through their employer. * Requiring employers to offer health insurance to their employees. The ACA requires employers with 50 or more employees to offer health insurance to their employees. The insurance must meet certain minimum standards, and it must be affordable for employees.
