Reportedly for the 27th time, he has changed the rules of Obamacare singlehandedly, with neither congressional approval nor even ceremonial resolutions to limit his actions . Really? Don't believe everything you hear....I work in the health insurance field and we are updated prior to any of this hitting the news (as a matter of fact many times I need to keep my lips sealed until it does hit the news) and trust me nothing has changed. Sorry I weep for you. That's funny, I thought there was something to it. I thought changing the law required an act of Congress's. ObamaCare requires businesses with 50 or more workers to offer health insurance to their workers or pay a penalty, but last summer the Treasury offered a year-long delay until 2015 despite having no statutory authorization. Like the individual mandate, the employer decree is central to ObamaCare’s claim of universal coverage, but employers said the new labor costs—and the onerous reporting and tax-enforcement rules—would damage job creation and the economy. Liberals insisted that such arguments were false if not beneath contempt, but then all of a sudden the White House implicitly endorsed the other side. Now the new delay arrives amid a furious debate about jobs after a damning Congressional Budget Office report last week, only this time with liberals celebrating ObamaCare’s supposed benefits to the job market. Well, which is it? Either ObamaCare is ushering in a worker’s paradise, in which case by the White House’s own logic exempting businesses from its ministrations is harming employees. Or else the mandate really is leading business to cut back on hiring, hours and shifting workers to part-time as the evidence in the real economy suggests. Under the new Treasury rule, firms with 50 to 99 full-time workers are free from the mandate until 2016. And firms with 100 or more workers now also only need cover 70% of full-time workers in 2015 and 95% in 2016 and after, not the 100% specified in the law. The new rule also relaxes the mandate for certain occupations and industries that were at particular risk for disruption, like volunteer firefighters, teachers, adjunct faculty members and seasonal employees. Oh, and the Treasury also notes that, “As these limited transition rules take effect, we will consider whether it is necessary to further extend any of them beyond 2015.” So the law may be suspended indefinitely if the White House feels like it. http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/m/discussion?id=2734278%3ATopic%3A674772 There's more: http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2013/12/20/Chuck-Todd-Hammers-Obama-On-His-Ever-Changing-ObamaCare-Decrees http://www.libertynewsonline.com/article_301_34557.php http://evilofindifference.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/wannabe-dictator-obama-rules-by-decree-yet-again-and-implements-another-obamacare-delay/ It looks to me like there are hundreds of sources for this. Just look It up.
