Obama administration to further delay healthcare mandate
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 10, 2014 | Noam Levy

Posted on 02/10/2014 1:19:42 PM PST by abb

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration will phase in a requirement that large employers provide their workers with health benefits in 2015 and 2016, offering businesses more relief from the so-called employer mandate in the president’s health law.

Under regulations issued Monday, only employers with more than 100 full-time workers will be subject to fines in 2015 unless they offer coverage.

The requirement that all employers with more than 50 full-time employees provide health benefits or pay fines – which was supposed to begin in 2014 under the Affordable Care Act – will not take effect until 2016.

He can't negate an existing law. If people follow what he says they will be in violation of the law.

Flor all we know it is part of the law as passed, i.e. “as the secretary shall determine.”

There he goes again...

How incredibly clever to delay the mandate until after the 2014 elections. I don’t think it will make a difference. The howling has barely started. It will get VERY loud as we go into 2014 and more and more people realize what a scam nobamacare is.

This is a softball over Senator Cruz’s plate. He can and should knock it out of the park.

DEMOCRATS WILL PAY!

If I were a betting man, I wouldn't touch that. THE RATS haven't paid for anything yet, the printing presses are still cranking out gazillions of fake dollars, and the prince was elected a second time. They don't call the GOP the stupid party for nothing.

This clown should have been impeached over Fast and Furious and certainly for the LIES about Benghazi. I personally remember the RATS (Kookcinich) introducing articles of Impeachment for GWB and Cheney for lying to America about WMD in Iraq. Spineless whimpy Republicans are just pathetic - it is way past time they be relegated to 3rd party status.

Um that is merely a recipe for permanent Dem(Commie) control.

Unless you are talking on a local level, 3rd part will hardly ever 98.9% of the time win.

Is that you Michael Meds?

What makes you think there are not enough CONSERVATIVE candidates that could run for the House and Senate and kick the GOP to the curb?

Including the part where if he doesn't say "Simon sez" and you do it anyway, you're out! Like when Congress tried to do something he wanted and he vetoed it, because it was supposed to be an executive order, dummies. Playground games have nothing on this administration. Three-year-olds could go to Washington and understand exactly how it works.

I think the law was purposely written to allow these changes. Remember all the times it says “at the discretion of the HHS Secretary,” well Obama is her boss, so it might as well have said “at the discretion of the POTUS.” It's just a horrible bill that is nothing but a nightmare. I don't think anything can be done until these people are voted out of office. Democrats really need to be PUNISHED for this monstrosity.

WHEN you have build a new Conservative political party from the ground up with a realistic chance to win, then come back to me.

(In the meantime I’ll be focused on taking the Republican Party back/).

Horseshit. Law is meaningless?

We shall abide by your example, exelency.

We all miss the point. Obama 'relieved' employers of the burden of providing obamacare for those who employ between 50 and 99. All they have to do is sign a statement under penalty of perjury if they fire people because of obamacare. That means they must conform to the dictates of the IRS (U.S.Government) in all hiring and firing practices OR risk going to prison for 5 years under penalty of perjury.

The language they used was they have too offer a true ali bye, meaning under penalty of perjury.

If you can go to Fox Kelly Files date 2/10/14 and she gives a good explanation.

That should keep them in line until the next execution. Obamacare is no excuse now for firing anyone. They government will tell you when to fire and when to hire. Orwell could not have written the script any better.

While it would be simply ceremonial and wouldn’t have the force of law, I’d like to see someone like Cruz introduce a “resolution of no confidence” in the President, listing the many, many unconstitutional edicts that the sheeple may have little knowledge of. Such a move might at least get some broadcast time, which would be a good thing.

If they can introduce resolutions praising American beekeepers and honoring 100-year-old grandmas, they can surely introduce a resolution like this.

Oh he's acting as king all right. His actions speak for that fact, as does the admiration of his kingship in the minds of his drones.

He might say - "It's good to be da king".

We would say "Not if you're the subjects - which we are."

And the GOP is allowing this.
Articles of impeachment need to be brought forward and supported.
