Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Congressional Elections 600
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."

^the above is a very long, circuitous way to say:
"We wanted it passed theoretically, so we voted for it; but we didn't really have a fucking clue about how it would actually be implemented and are only actually reading the bill now, and so need more time to study/figure out how to apply this catastrophic mess to the real world.
Signed,
Congress"
