Listen to this one. They come up with another “fairness” law, but have no idea what it means or how to implement it, so they are now delaying it. It is to laugh, if it weren’t so ridiculous and such a waste of our time and money…

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is delaying enforcement of another provision of the new health care law, one that prohibits employers from providing better health benefits to top executives than to other employees.

Tax officials said they would not enforce the provision this year because they had yet to issue regulations for employers to follow.

The Affordable Care Act, adopted nearly four years ago, says employer-sponsored health plans must not discriminate “in favor of highly compensated individuals” with respect to either eligibility or benefits. The government provides a substantial tax break for employer-sponsored insurance, and, as a matter of equity and fairness, lawmakers said employers should not provide more generous coverage to a select group of high-paid employees.

Of course, and this will quietly get done as the country is more concerned with traffic jams, legal marijuana and gay marriage.

How does this intrusion into private matters "help the un-insured"????

that's got to sting. they had a prime chance to stick it to the evil "rich people", but had to punt because they couldn't get their sh!t together.

Congress remains addled by more executive power grab.

Bureaucrats don't care. They just want to be in charge. Caprice suits them just fine. They're happier when people complain, b/c they're evil.

It doesn't, but is does play well to the, "Stick it to the man", crowd. Maybe they should all start wearing tie-dyed shirts and have all the female Democratic reps. go bra-less. (We'd get some Navel hangers that way)
