One of my coworkers told me that my boss doesn't have to provide insurance to his employees if he only has a small amount of people working for him. Does anyone know what this number is, or how to find out more about it?

Offering medical benefits is completely voluntary. A company is never required to do so.

No company HAS to offer insurance to the employees. In my last job, I was one of 14 employees with our employer paying most of the PPO plan that was given to us.
Some companies are good hearted and get a group plan for everyone to have a cheaper rate, and some companies are just not so good. Some will hire you to work 40+ hours a week, but claim your employment status as part-time to avoid having to give you insurance, as stated by company policy in major corporations...just another loop hole.
No. The employer does not have to provide health insurance, however workers compensation is a different story. Some states do require insurance for on the job injuries...

NO company HAS to offer health insurance. It is not required. Some small businesses cannot afford to pay for it so they don't offer it to their employees.

The truth is, he doesn't have to offer you insurance even if he has 1000 workers unless there is a clause or workers agreement that says he has to do so. Like a union agreement or such.

Yeah it's entirely their choice regardless of the size of the company.
