Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Congressional Elections

theodp writes "If you hoped your employer would finally provide health insurance in 2014, take two aspirin and call your doctor in the morning — the morning of January 1st, 2015. The Obama administration will delay a crucial provision of its signature health-care law until 2015, giving businesses an extra year to comply with a requirement that they provide their workers with insurance. The government will postpone enforcement of the so-called employer mandate until 2015, after the congressional elections, the administration said Tuesday. Under the provision, companies with 50 or more workers face a fine of as much as $3,000 per employee if they don't offer affordable insurance."

    Now, I enjoy rhyming nigger jokes as much as the next guy who pretends he doesn't, but that didn't even have a punchline!

    If you're going to post something that people are going to chuckle at and then mod down anyway, at least put some effort into it, so the chuckle part actually happens and not just the mod down part.
