Why B is correct
Under Chapter 627, Florida Statutes, Florida's small employer health insurance requirements apply to employers actively engaged in business that employ eligible employees within the statutory small-employer size range. The rules exist because small businesses lack the bargaining power of large groups, so Florida guarantees them access to coverage on defined terms; independent-contractor-only operations and self-insured arrangements fall outside the insured small employer framework.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) A workforce made up solely of independent contractors lacks eligible employees, the basic ingredient of a small employer group.
- C) A self-insured employer pays its own claims rather than buying insured coverage, so the small employer insurance requirements do not govern it.
- D) Whether the employer currently offers coverage is irrelevant to the definition; the rules apply to employers in the size range that seek insured coverage.
Memory hook
Small employer = active business with eligible employees in the size range.
