On the President's Decision to Unilaterally Delay the Employer Mandate
It's exactly the same type of thing that kings and queens in England, France, Spain, and Sweden used to do in the 15th and 16th Centuries....Gotta love him, huh?
Lousy law,.lots of issues, it should be delayed, or better yet scrapped. Congress should be taking action. The law is the law and the president as the CEO should enforce the law. Ironic really.
RN: I thought you earlier said that the ACA should be fixed, not scrapped. Maybe I misread you? Not attacking you. I do know your views evolve on such matters....
"Congress should be taking action."
Well, what we have here is a unilateral declaration of a sort of line item veto.
Actually the ACA could be fixed. Unfortunately it ain't gonna happen. As you know I would prefer a something more closely resembling the Swiss healthcare system. That won't happen either.
So, the last best thing is to scrap it and start over. Hopefully with a cooperative congress. That ain't gonna happen either.
Therefore, as I say, it simply is what it is and I'm sick of hearing about it 24/7.
I think that it kind of underscores what Jonathan Turley was saying about an imperial Presidency, myself (and hence my analogy to those European royals).
Will: The employer mandate is indeed a "war on workers", as it has specific penalties to discourage companies from hiring more than 50 people... and of course the fine to force companies to cut hours from 40 to 30.
The hard left should stop the campaign to get people who do low value work to be paid massive unearned gifts from employers (the fast food worker matter), and focus on this aspect of the ACA which will cut the actual earned pay of many workers by 25%.
