Final answer:
The ACA requires large employers to provide the 1095-C form to employees, as part of the employer mandate for health insurance coverage. The ACA's funding came from additional taxes, and its individual mandate was upheld as a constitutional tax by the Supreme Court.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires applicable large employers that offer health insurance to provide employees with the 1095-C form. This mandate is a part of the employer mandate, which stipulates that all employers with more than 50 full-time employees must offer health insurance coverage to their employees. The 1095-C form is used to report information about health insurance coverage offered to employees and is imperative for compliance with the ACA. The act itself was funded through additional taxes and faced challenges, yet was upheld by the Supreme Court, recognizing the individual mandate as a tax.
