Obamacare's Employer Mandate Shouldn't Be Delayed. It Should Be Repealed.

Ezra Klein: Why Obamacare's Employer Mandate Should Be Repealed


The Affordable Care Act includes a provision penalizing employers with more than 50 full-time workers who either don't offer health insurance or whose employees who can't afford insurance without taxpayer help. Those penalties begin in 2014. At least, that's what the law says.

It's a bad bit of policy. In fact, when it first emerged during the Senate's negotiations, I called it "one of the worst ideas in recent memory."
