White House delays employer mandate requirement until 2015

Yet another delay of a major component of the so-called affordable care act, i.e. Obamacare.

Is this pushed back to help the nervous democrats up for election in the midterms of 2014? You know, the ones trying to "suppress the confusion and hide the cost of obamacare"....

The Insiders: Democrats are trying to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare

What a train-wreck.

LOL.... wait until the real fireworks start and the mandate kicks in.

---edit----

Wait a minute, if the employer is not going to have to provide insurance until 2015 that means all those workers that don't have it are going to have to go and get it on their own in 2014?

Please enlighten us...
Exactly how does "The White House" go about modifying a law that was passed by Congress and signed by the President?
Seems to me, if somebody wants to change any provision of the law, it would have to go before Congress for revision, then the President would have to sign the revised law.
Just exactly WHO in "The White House" has the Constitutional authority to decide to modify (and modify) an already established law?

There's no penalty for noncompliance.

"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."

The same way the EPA regulates CO2 with the clean air act that was written in 1990 that makes no mention of greenhouse gases. The laws passed by Congress are an outline, there 10's of thousands of pages of regulations written by the IRS and HHS that will implement this law. Those regulations can be challenged in court.

They do it the Obama way - they get their co-conspirators at the IRS to delay things.

They're just trying to take it off the table for the 2014 mid-terms.

So .... this means the Obama folks are going to 'kick it down the road' to attempt to get past the 2014 Mid-Term elections.

PUNT, 'til we vote again.
