The president himself may have opened the door to those challenges.
Weeks ago President Obama announced a one-year delay in the mandate for larger employers to provide health insurance for workers, or face penalties. Those companies, with 50 workers or more, now have until 2015, instead of 2014, to provide insurance coverage.
Business leaders welcomed the grace period and most Democrats and liberal groups said little. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy expert, wrote in The New York Times that the delay will have little impact on employees because those working for big employers likely already have coverage and those who don’t can still get it from the health care exchanges that start early next year.
Maybe "approval of O'BamaCare" should be tied in with "approval of the Keystone XL." One has to chuckle. The government has spent about 10 years studying the effects of the Keystone XL and still hasn't come to a decision on whether to approve. O'BamaCare was written, not read, and passed, in less than a year. O'BamaCare will change the nation forever and will be bigger than Social Security before it's all over. The Keystone XL will be but one of a thousand pipelines, approved or not approved, when we look back on this debacle ten years from now.But now some Republicans and conservative groups are saying the delay is too one-sided and the law’s requirement should be delayed for employees as well.
