Not So Fabulous: ObamaCare’s Employer Mandate Delayed Until After 2014 Elections

July 3, 2013

Well, that was quick.

Just a week after Nancy Pelosi called Obamacare’s implementation “fabulous“, Bloomberg reported a bombshell: the employer mandate, a crucial component of the law, is being delayed until 2015.

It appears the Obama administration is ready to acknowledge what a “train wreck” the law has finally become.

This is a huge blow the to government, which had hope to implement the employer mandate–along with the individual mandate–in the very near future. They blamed the law’s heavy “compliance” burden for the delay. The mandate would require businesses with 50 or more employees to offer insurance or face fines.

The government can try and use excuses all they want, but the political ramifications are all too apparent. Now, Democrats running in 2014 don’t have to worry about the law’s disastrous rollout impeding their electoral chances.

The story also broke on the eve of a holiday long weekend–which shows the government actively trying to prevent the story from gaining attention from the press.

This delay is simply not good enough. Democrats are trying to put the law on the back burner, while they attempt to run away from it during the 2014 midterms.

We cannot and will not let this happen. From day one, the NRCC and the Republican majority in the House has stood for a “permanent delay” of ObamaCare. We’re not going to let Democrats who pushed this government takeover of healthcare through Congress off the hook and you shouldn’t either.

Join the fight today and ensure that ObamaCare is delayed permanently.
