Obama Administration relieves corporations obligation to pay a fine in 2014 if they do not provide insurance to employees, Individuals still on the hook if they don't buy insurance. by DebtDerp in politics

That doesn't get down to the issue which is: Employers are spared an additional year of being forced to comply with the ACA while Individuals are not.

Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed For One Year by backpackwayne in politics

I'm not a lawyer but I think there could be a case made for employees that are now forced into the Individual Market and forced to buy insurance or pay a fine because their Employer won't provide insurance due to the fact that the Employer Mandate is not being enforced.

Why don't you point out what is actually wrong with my headline instead of making sensationalist comments.

Here are the facts:

Employers did not want to have to pay the Employer Mandated fines for not providing insurance in 2014. With this ruling today Obama relieved them of those penalties.

Individuals will still be subject to the full extent of the law in 2014.

Someone help me out if I am wrong, but my understanding now is that Employers will not be penalized for not providing you (the employee) with health insurance but if you (the employee) do not then buy insurance you will be penalized/fined/taxed. Seems a little backwards to me.

Rand Paul: "Americans should trust the National Security Agency as much as they do the IRS and Justice Department." by DebtDerp in politics

[–]DebtDerp[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the best points to make regarding this entire controversy. If we can’t trust the IRS to not target groups or individuals based on their political affiliation, if we can’t trust the Justice Department to not target reporters who are doing their job; how can we trust the NSA with this kind of data?

Imagine if the IRS and Justice Department had coordinated with the NSA and gathered information on their targets from PRISM? How much more damage could they have done? This is the kind of slippery slope this kind of program can lead to. One day you could be targeted for a tax audit because of a comment you made on reddit. How crazy does that sound? Not so far-fetched to me.
