This is where he is changing Law? Not legal by the Constitution! Why this now? Are they Scared or afraid of the upcoming mid terms? This is now delayed till after the presidential Election. What then afterwards? If another Lib wins by voter fraud then they go full boar on this Obamacare Crap? Single payer? They know right now they are screwed! I hope the people don't buy into their Liberal Crap and still think these Assbags are looking out for them! I see it looks to be all about control!
Employers with fewer than 100 workers won’t have to providehealth insurance until 2016 under Obamacare, as the administration said it would again delay a key requirement of the health law. Larger firms have to cover at least 70 percent of the workforce starting next year, the Internal Revenue Service said in a rule issued today. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act envisioned as a cornerstone of its expansion of U.S. insurance coverage that employers with 50 or more workers would be required to provide health benefits to their employees. Under pressure from business groups, the Obama administration has weakened that requirement since July, first by delaying enforcement of the mandate until 2015. Many firms will have even more time under the regulation issued today…The rule provides employers far more flexibility than allowed by the language of the health law, which levies fines of as much as $3,000 per worker against firms that don’t comply with the requirement.
The language of the law explicitly requires all businesses with more than 50 workers to provide employees withhealth coverage by January 1st of this year. Obama's previous delay pushed that date back to 2015. Now -- with a wrenching election cycle on the horizon, and on the heels of a brutal CBO reportabout the law's impact on the US workforce -- the administration has issued more major changes by pure fiat. The law's full implementation date has been shoved back by another full year, the relevant worker threshold has been unilaterally doubled, and larger businesses have also received a special partial exemption. Let there be no mistake: The Obama administration is simply re-writing Obamacare on the fly, with no regard for the plain text of the statute. This is lawless behavior, as was the first big delay. The Obama Precedent is now firmly set. Future presidents may delay, postpone, or alter any portion of the this law that they find unworkable. Or politically inconvenient. Or...anything at all, really.Reactions:
It's gone far beyond the "businesses need to prepare accordingly" phase. Now in the political butt-covering stage.
