White House Delays Key Obamacare Requirement for Employers

HeadlineJul 03, 2013

The White House has announced it is delaying a critical piece of President Obama’s healthcare law by one year. The government will wait until 2015 to implement a requirement that businesses with at least 50 employees provide health insurance or face penalties. The move follows complaints that reporting requirements were too complicated to follow. Health experts are warning the delay could significantly reduce the number of people who will receive insurance when the law takes effect next year.
