The New York Times reports:
The “employer mandate,” which was
originally supposed to take effect last month, had already been delayed
to Jan. 1, 2015, and now the administration says that employers with 50
to 99 employees will not have to comply until 2016 — allowing Democrats
to placate business concerns and pushing the issue well beyond this
year’s midterm elections.
In addition, the administration said
the requirement would be put into effect gradually for employers with
100 or more employees. Employers in this category will need to offer
coverage to 70 percent of full-time employees in 2015 and 95 percent in
2016 and later years, or they will be subject to tax penalties.
