More Obamacare fuckups

[Tgo01]

So if they're only postponing the employer mandate and not the individual mandate does that mean employees are still required by law to get healthcare but their employer doesn't have to provide it?

Great thinking!

Pretty much.

Tho they are still politely asking that employers provide insurance, they just are not going to fine them for not providing it.

If this new law is so good for the economy and for the individual... Why the fuck would we want it delayed?? I know I could use lower healthcare costs for my businesses and my family... Affordable Healthcare Now!

Yes We Can!!!

4 More Years!!!

Well just think... if you and everyone out there like you had actually voted against Obama he would not be in office right now and you would not have anything to complain about.

Just think . . . If you and everyone like you out there actually posted in a constructive manner it might help things instad of your continued shitposting. Go post on reddit or kugu or something where you will fit in.

So lets see if I understand this.

I suggest that if someone wants to get something done they should vote.

You respond that I should post here in a more constructive manner to help things.

Sorry, I think voting beats posting in this case.

What are your thoughts on today's news about Obamacare delaying the employer mandate?

I think a ton of the senior leadership, including the people managing the health care guidance, forms, etc, have quit recently as a result of political pressure drummed up by the GOP.

I know a lot of folks who work (or worked) at IRS Chief Counsel. They are highly dedicated, competent, and hard working. It's a shame that the political process is forcing the good folks (the dedicated, competent, hard working ones that will have (or have had) no problem finding private sector employment) out of the IRS and leaving behind the leeches who have done only the bare minimum to not get fired for the last 20 years. There are still really good people left, but I'm not sure how much longer that will be true. They've lost a lot of their best folks.

lolwut? You realize this news has nothing to do with Obamacare management and everything to do with the negative effects of the implementation, right? This was done because of the effects the implementation will have on the economy and the negative press that will be exposed during an election year.. nothing more.

These highly dedicated, competent and hard working IRS agents... are they the ones specifically targeting Conservative groups?

You realize I know the people working (or people that worked) on this guidance, right? I just had lunch with a former IRS chief counsel employee who worked on one of the big regulation packages implementing Obamacare. She was very candid that, with IRS turn-over, it's very unlikely the mandate went live next year. I wouldn't be surprised if the individual mandate gets pushed back, too.

But I'm sure you're right. You've probably got better sources. Don't mind me. You can keep drinking the kool-aid.
