If I recall correctly, the ACA only ever required employers with 50 or more full time employees to offer coverage to their full time employees. As I understand it, this mandate was delayed a couple times but it eventually stuck. But that is moot considering a huge portion of workers in the food service industry don't meet that criteria (either not full time or the employer has fewer than 50 employees) so they don't get any employer coverage. I'm not sure what the author meant by the "Thank you Obama" comment - is he criticizing the ACA for not going further with the mandatory coverage, or is this just a reference to the "thanks Obama" meme?
