McDonald's (NYSE: MCD - News), Jack in the Box (Nasdaq: JACK - News) and other companies won a one-year exemption from a new rule requiring them to raise the maximum amount of coverage they offer employees.
All told 30 companies, also including insurers Cigna (NYSE: CI - News) and Aetna (NYSE: AET - News), received the waiver, affecting 968,765 enrollees.
Companies affected by the law were threatening to drop coverage completely or raise employees' premiums by as much as 200% in order to comply with next year's deadline, according to a government official familiar with the matter.
