From FoxNews.com:
Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Midterms
By Mike Dorning and Alex Wayne
Businesses won’t be penalized next year if they don’t provide workers health insurance after the Obama administration decided to delay a key requirement under its health-care law, two administration officials said.
The decision will come in regulatory guidance to be issued later this week. It addresses vehement complaints from employer groups about the administrative burden of reporting requirements, though it may also affect coverage provided to some workers.
Let me be blunt: any number of multiple local, state and federal agencies have NO idea how to enable the betrayal that ObamaKare has become.
Continuing to Implement the ACA in a Careful, Thoughtful Manner

Over the past several months, the Administration has been engaging in a dialogue with businesses – many of which already provide health coverage for their workers – about the new employer and insurer reporting requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively. We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so. We have listened to your feedback. And we are taking action.
Yes, this is a break. But a break that has been crafted in order to acquire some more centrist coalitions on diversity?
If you like your plan and your doctor, you can keep them, correct?
Or perhaps you cannot.
The delay: is this a good thing or a bad thing?
