Gibbs: Employer mandate won't happen [View all]
It's a 'small part of the law'??
"Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs predicted Wednesday that the oft-delayed ObamaCare employer mandate will never go into effect.
“I don’t think the employer mandate will go into effect. It’s a small part of the law. I think it will be one of the first things to go,” Gibbs told a crowd in Colorado, according to BenefitsPro.com.
The website described the audience as being surprised by Gibbs’s comments
In February, the Obama Administration announced the second delay to the mandate, which requires certain businesses to either offer their full-time employees insurance or pay penalties.
Under the most recently announced delay, employers with between 50 and 99 employees have until January 2016 to offer health insurance or pay a fine. Companies with more than 100 employees must offer insurance or pay a fine of $2,000 per worker by January 2015. Those with fewer than 50 employees are not subject to the penalty."
