I'd like to see the petition these corporate persons signed in order to get the President to delay this health care requirement by a year.
Is it on https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ ?
I do not see anything under "Employer Mandate"
From Bloomberg:
The Obama administration will delay a crucial provision of its signature health-care law, giving businesses an extra year to comply with a requirement that they provide their workers with insurance.
The government will postpone enforcement of the so-called employer mandate until 2015, after the congressional elections, the administration said yesterday. Under the provision, companies with 50 or more workers face a fine of as much as $3,000 per employee if they dont offer affordable insurance.
The delay in the employer mandate addresses complaints from business groups to President Barack Obamas administration about the burden of the laws reporting requirements.
