These columns fought the Affordable Care Act from start to passage,
and we'd now like to apologize to our readers. It turns out we weren't
nearly critical enough. The law's implementation is turning into a
fiasco for the ages, and this week's version is the lawless White House
decision to delay the law's insurance mandate for businesses, though not
for individuals.
The employer mandate is central to ObamaCare's claim of providing universal coverage. Companies with 50 or more "employee equivalents" must pay a $2,000 penalty per full-time employee if they don't provide government-approved health insurance. The provision was supposed to start in January, and delaying it is like Ford saying its electric car is ready to go, except the electric battery doesn't work.
