“Administration
officials dispute that this is happening on any large scale. Further, Treasury
officials said Monday that businesses will be told to "certify" that
they are not shedding full-time workers simply to avoid the mandate. Officials
said employers will be told to sign a "self-attestation" on their tax
forms affirming this, under penalty of perjury.”
Republicans renewed their calls to delay or repeal ObamaCare Monday
after the Obama administration announced another delay in the requirement for
businesses to provide health coverage to workers, giving some employers a
reprieve next year while phasing in the mandate for others.
The administration had already delayed the implementation of the
so-called employer mandate by a year, initially pushing the requirements off
until 2015 -- past the midterm elections. In a concession to business, though,
Treasury Department officials announced Monday that the administration would
not enforce the rules across the board next year.
"Once again, the president is giving a break to corporations while
individuals and families are still stuck under the mandates of his health care
law. And, once again, the president is rewriting law on a whim," House
Speaker John Boehner said in a statement. "If the administration doesn't
believe employers can manage the burden of the law, how can struggling families
be expected to?"
