White House delays employer mandate requirement until 2015

[Second Amendment First]

The Obama administration will not penalize businesses that do not provide health insurance in 2014, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.

Instead, it will delay enforcement of a major Affordable Care Act requirement that all employers with more than 50 employees provide coverage to their workers until 2015.

Further breakdown (or breaking-down, as the case may be) of law and order from the executive... just by fiat, choosing to ignore law. And for all the wrong reasons: To leapfrog the next election.

[wac3rd]

100% correct, give cover to the Dems until after November 2014.

[TLI]

Exactly what I was discussing with a friend of mine.

They are pushing the failure past the election.

[Michael.SF.]

Why don’t they just delay it until the second Wednesday of November?

[Ray76]

After the election.

[TexasCajun]

Obama just decides which laws he'll enforce? ...again!

[laplata]

With House elections every two years, this could be delayed forever. This is going to collapse into itself. IMO

[Mike Darancette]

BLINK - what about individual mandates?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Past the election because they know it’ll cost them votes & Congress seats!!!!!

Rats, I tell ya.

[stockpirate]

Do they mean until after the 2014 elections, no that cannot be the reason they are doing this. /end sarcasm

[Cyclone59]

And yet again, the republicans will do absolutely nothing about it. Not one singe attack ad nor one single appearance on a talk show to talk about it.

[Bluestocking]

The two people in America who still think ObamaCare will improve their lives must be furious.

[fhayek]

But, but, but, Obamacare is SOOO good for us. It is even going to bring down the DEFICIT!. Why would we want to delay all of this goodness? Oh why oh why?

[maggief]

[ConservativeMan55]

Those 2 people would be obummer and mooch

[1010RD]

It’s so important to cover people that we’ve waited five years to do it. What’s another year to those without healthcare?

It’ll work, trust us.

[mandaladon]

DemocRats are shaking in their boots over the coming implosion of their ‘landmark’ legislation.
They own it, lock, stock and barrel.

[mandaladon]

Obama doesn’t want Morsi type protests against him before he flees the White House.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Those individuals will be fined.
