White House Delays Key Obamacare Requirement for Employers 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
The White House has announced it is delaying a critical piece of
President Obama's healthcare law by one year. The government will wait
until 2015 to implement a requirement that businesses with at least 50
employees provide health insurance or face penalties. The move follows
complaints that reporting requirements were too complicated to follow.
Health experts are warning the delay could significantly reduce the
number of people who will receive insurance when the law takes effect
next year.
