Read the full article at: [ushealthnews.mercer.com](http://ushealthnews.mercer.com/article/627/gop-announces-aca-replacement-strategy) While it lays out some interesting strategies that could potentially be attractive to employers, the white paper lacks the details necessary to be able to evaluate the impact on employer-sponsored health benefits as we know them today. And we all know the devil is in the details. Here are some highlights: - No more employer mandate - Dependents are still eligible for coverage until age 26 - Lifetime maximums and preexisting conditions exclusions are still banned - The Excise Tax is replaced with a cap on the employee tax exclusion  - Catch-up contributions for spouses are expanded - Maximum contribution limits are increased - HSA contributions won't count when calculating the cap on employee exclusion - Employers can reimburse employees buying coverage on a private exchange **Do you know what's required of you by the ACA, as an ** **employer?
