They are only a few unlikely scenarios where they don’t have to:

https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/form-w-2-reporting-o...

> The Affordable Care Act requires employers to report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan. Reporting the cost of health care coverage on the Form W-2 does not mean that the coverage is taxable. The value of the employer’s excludable contribution to health coverage continues to be excludable from an employee's income, and it is not taxable. This reporting is for informational purposes only and will provide employees useful and comparable consumer information on the cost of their health care coverage.

there's something about it being optional for:

> Employers required to file fewer than 250 Forms W-2 for the preceding calendar year (determined without application of any entity aggregation rules for related employers)

I'm guessing it's that; pretty sure we have less than 250 employees in the US.
