So
the President decided to suspend the Obamacare implementation until 2015
instead of 2014 because of the hardship it is placing on businesses of 50 or
more. It seems to be hurting the economy and adversely affecting the job
market. They have found it is causing a rise in premiums for personal insurance
and if an individual fails to buy the insurance they will be fined. The end
result is that it is costing more money than was expected. By the way, it is
the law of the land; passed by Congressional democrats, tested by the Supreme
Court and found Constitutional. So can the President simply change the law that
explicitly states a timetable for implementation? Doesn't that make it a new
law? I thought Congress formulated the laws and the Administration implemented
and enforced the laws. Finally, even by expanding the time for implementation
by one year (after the mid-term elections) will the effects of implementation
be any different in 2015 from the impact if it had been implemented in 2014?
