Key Obamacare provision delayed – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
Shocker.(not) I guess the Democratic Party strategy of "owning" Obamacare during the midterms isn't going to play out.
Its going to be an interesting 2014 as they aren't postponing the individual mandate. How much longer before the administration asks for a "patch"? Any takers on an amendment that states "add X years to all dates contained within"?
Also, since this is making it clear that whoever controls the Executive branch can just willy nilly delay/implement portions of the law, I guess any future administration can turn portions on and off too.
The requirement that businesses provide their workers with health insurance or face fines - a key provision contained in President Barack Obama's sweeping health care law - will be delayed by one year, the Treasury Department said Tuesday.
The delay came after business owners expressed concerns about the complexity of the reporting requirements, the agency said in its announcement. Under the Affordable Care Act, businesses employing 50 or more full-time workers that don't provide them health insurance will be penalized.
