Obama Is Embarrassed by ObamaCare
Barack Obama assured us that, after his signature legislation
ObamaCare went into effect, we would surely like it. Now Obama has
decided he doesn’t want us to find out how it affects us until after the
2014 elections.
ObamaCare is designed to force employers of 50 or more fulltime
employees to provide comprehensive health insurance that includes a
mandate to pay for an abortion-inducing drug. The penalty for
non-compliance is a tax of $2,000 per fulltime employee per year (beyond
the first 30), and the Internal Revenue Service was supposed to start
collecting the penalties on January 1.
Obama apparently thinks he can conceal the mess he created, which
even the Democrats who voted for it now call a “train wreck,” by simply
postponing the effective date of the employer mandate one year. But the
ObamaCare law, as upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, unambiguously
states: “EFFECTIVE DATE … The amendments made by this section shall
apply to months beginning after December 31, 2013.”
Obama has no authority to alter the timetable of the law’s
implementation. Maybe he should actually read the 2,700 pages of text in
the ObamaCare law and its 20,000 pages of regulations.
