A lot of AnonyMary's commentary above addresses the Individual mandate, not the Employer mandate.
I am not certain whether AnonyMary thought she was discussing the Employer Mandate or the Individual Mandate when she quoted the material that she did. However, this flow chart and the one I just posted should hopefully clarify the differences between the 2. **

** I also addressed the idea that Scientology is a religion opposed to insurance in the OP of this thread - my conclusion was that Scientologists could not apply for exemption from the individual mandate based on religious objections. Furthermore, that exemption is from the individual mandate, and has no bearing on the employer mandate.
EDIT: And here's that employer mandate flowchart again, for easy comparison. I wish that this forum had more than 10 posts per page. LoneStar, I addressed the employee vs. volunteer issue in the OP.
