    And this means that employees of large companies who are not covered by employer provided insurance in 2014 will still be required by law to buy their own insurance or pay the fine...I mean tax.

    All this does is postpone the inevitable disaster of Obamacare until after the midterm elections, but that's the idea, isn't it?

      Postponing the train wreck may not work for Obama, since the tax payers will still have to prove they have insurance or pay the fine on April 15th.

      I see many unhappy voters waking up to smell the coffee before the midterms.

          The more that I research this, the more that I realize how right you are!

          Just as he manipulated the recent November elections by having the IRS stifle opposition, he is trying to manipulate the midterms by postponing the destructive effects of ObamaCare. The Republicans can't object, since they 100% rejected this law during the process. How can they now clamor for it's enforcement?

          What a stroke of genius on the part of the White House.

        Let's hope so...though this move will, at the least delay the expected massive reduction in the number of full time employees which would also require individuals to buy their own health insurance. As full time employees at least they will have more money to pay the tax...which will be much lower than the cost of insurance...should they be unable to afford it or choose not to buy it.

          I see where you are going, and you may be right.

          Job reductions are put on the back burner....

          I hold high hopes for the midterms, nonetheless, thinking back to 2010!

    These people won't wake up and realize reality until it hits them directly in their own ass... It's ALL about the mid term elections. Keep 'em the dark as long as it serves their agenda...and it will work. When they finally do wake up it will all be over but the screaming. Master manipulators of the masses.

    Hahaha. So the government is relying on me to comply with the individual mandate to get this albatross off the ground. Ha! Good luck with that.
