Claim: A federal government website designed to help Americans understand the new health care law isn't always helpful — or in some cases even accurate. Take this question in the Q&A; section for "small businesses." Q: Am I required to offer insurance to my employees? A: No. There is not a so-called "employer mandate" in the legislation. That's true if your definition of "small business" only covers firms with 49 or fewer employees; there's no requirement that they provide coverage.
