Obama claims ‘enforcement discretion’ to make Obamacare changes

Officials explained the president’s decision as a prerogative of the nation’s chief law-enforcement officer.

“He will be suspending enforcement for 2014 … [and the Department of Health and Human Services] will be using its enforcement discretion,” said an official.

The suspension is similar to his June 2012 suspension of immigration law
