Dish Network Corp. and Darden Restaurants Inc. are among dozens of companies and organizations the Obama administration has exempted from the U.S. health-care law mandating minimum benefits for workers.
The Health and Human Services Department posted on its website today a list of the latest businesses that can avoid raising the minimum amount of insurance coverage to $750,000 starting next year. The requirements apply to so-called mini-med or limited benefit plans that employers use for low-wage or part-time workers.
