You are exempt from some aspects of the law but not the overall cost impact if you are under 50 employees.

My startup is still under 50 employees and the ACA has significantly increased our costs. We already offer generous healthcare benefits so the only thing that has changed is that we spend a lot more money under the new laws. The other option was to pass the steep cost hike on to the employees. This is not unique to my startup either.

For all the talk about how this law is supposedly great for startups, everyone I know has had the opposite experience in practice.
