The bill requires employers with over 50 employees to provide health insurance as a benefit to their employees, as shown here. Otherwise, there's a fine. They will be allowed to offer plans from the health care exchange, though. (ISTR that there's some size and time limitation there. I can't find it now.)

Huh? Yeah, you won't be able to get an individual plan anymore, but you can get in on the same group plans that those without employee-sponsored health plans can get on. That is, assuming that your employer decides it would rather pay a fine than deal with getting you health insurance.
