I think it's safe to say that the IRS is going to have a hands-off approach to dealing with these businesses.

The last thing anyone in Washington wants to face in the 2014 or 2016 election cycles is a litany of complaints from business owners -- and their employees -- about how the cost of ACA compliance pushed these companies to downsize, outsource, and lay off a bunch of workers because the IRS harassed the sh!t out of them.

LOL!

Ya think?

What does the Law say right now? The law says that if you don't insure your employees, you will be fined $3500 for each employee next year. You think the IRS is going to pass up this goldmine?

You trust Obama and the IRS that much?

I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

For most businesses with 50-100 employees, a fine of $3500 per employee can be handled. For those who can't handle it, the IRS will allow you to make installment payments.

and their employees

Their employees are not exempt. They are required to comply. The individual mandate has not been unilaterally "waived."

They are already screwed and nobody is complaining. You think they are going to give a damn if their employer is fined for not insuring them?

If they had to pony up $12,000 to buy their own insurance this year, do you think they are going to be upset if their employer is fined a mere $3500 because they refused to cover them?
