Some businesses will get an extra year - until 2016.
Some businesses will get an extra year – until 2016.

 Again, it’s employers who are getting a break from their Obamacare mandate – and that’s sure to increase the pressure on the Obama administration to delay the mandate for individuals, too. Regulations announced by the Obama administration Monday give two levels of delay to employers who would have had to cover their workers next year. Some businesses will get an extra year – until 2016. And the bigger businesses that do have to worry about the mandate will have it phased in over two years. It’s the second round of delays to the employer mandate, which will require all businesses with 50 or more full-time workers to provide health coverage or pay a fine. The mandate was originally supposed to start this year – until, under pressure from business groups, it got pushed back until 2015.”

These are headlines of some of the most popular newspapers about the Health-Law Mandate:

The Front Page – Wall Street Journal, 5-col. lead: “Health-Law Mandate Put Off Again: No Fines for Most Employers Until 2016 as Firms Pressure White House in Wake of Troubled Rollout.” Washington Post, 2-col. lead: “Employers get new reprieve from health law: MORE TIME FOR MIDSIZE COMPANIES: Insurance mandate won’t kick in until 2016.” NYT: “Further Delays for Employers in Health Law: G.O.P Assails Change as a Political Step.” USA Today, banner headline: “Health law faces new delay: Some businesses get extra year to comply; GOP wants it extended to individuals.”

SPEAKER BOEHNER: “Once again, the president is giving a break to corporations while individuals and families are still stuck under the mandates of his health care law. And, once again, the president is rewriting law on a whim. If the administration doesn’t believe employers can manage the burden of the law, how can struggling families be expected to? This continued manipulation by the president breeds confusion and erodes Americans’ confidence in him and his health care law. We need fairness for all, with relief from ObamaCare for every American.”
