Delaying ObamaCare’s Employer Mandate? It’ll Still Cost You!
Remember that employer mandate? You know, the one that the White House tried to sweep under the rug until after the 2014 midterms because it was turning out to be the “train wreck” we all knew it to be?
It turns out even delaying the employer mandate will still increase “cost and complications” for consumers, as TIME Magazine points out this morning.
“Whatever political benefit the Administration accrues in the delay will come at taxpayer expense, as the move will increase the cost of Obamacare. The provision was expected to generate some $10 billion in revenue in the form of penalties that employers not offering coverage would have incurred in 2014. Adding to that cost is the fact that many workers whose employers decide not to offer coverage in 2014 will now be eligible to receive federal subsidies to buy individual insurance policies through state or federal exchanges. The delay does not change the ACA’s individual mandate, which requires nearly all Americans to have insurance coverage beginning in 2014.”
Typical ObamaCare…even when they’re NOT doing something, you’re still getting charged.
