A major provision of The Affordable Care Act that requires employees to offer health insurance has been pushed to 2015.
The employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act has been pushed back a year to 2015, according to a blog post from the Treasury Department. A major component of the law, the provision requires employees with at least 50 full-time workers to offer health insurance or face penalties. The development pushed every Republican to pounce on the health-care law, describing the delay as set-up for disaster. “This is a clear acknowledgment that the law is unworkable, and it underscores the need to repeal the law and replace it with effective, patient-centered reforms,” House Speaker John Boehner said.
