ObamaCare's Secret Mandate Exemption

ObamaCare's Secret Mandate Exemption

ObamaCare's implementers continue to roam the battlefield and shoot their own wounded, and the latest casualty is the core of the Affordable Care Act—the individual mandate. To wit, last week the Administration quietly excused millions of people from the requirement to purchase health insurance or else pay a tax penalty.

This latest political reconstruction has received zero media notice, and the Health and Human Services Department didn't think the details were worth discussing in a conference call, press materials or fact sheet. Instead, the mandate suspension was buried in an unrelated rule that was meant to preserve some health plans that don't comply with ObamaCare benefit and redistribution mandates. Our sources only noticed the change this week.

That seven-page technical bulletin includes a paragraph and footnote that casually mention that a rule in a separate December 2013 bulletin would be extended for two more years, until 2016. Lo and behold, it turns out this second rule, which was supposed to last for only a year, allows Americans whose coverage was cancelled to opt out of the mandate altogether.

The bureaucrats and their President have usurped Congressional powers to make their own laws.   How is any of this legal?

What Obama is doing is not just unconstitutional, but the way he is doing things aren't even addressed by the constitution.  Most of the GOP is happy to let him continue and they would do the same for their own ends.

I'm not sure what the few conservatives can do to try and stop Obama.  They have little to no support for the establishment GOP.

As long as a conservative president is allowed to use the same powers on this horrible, horrible law.  If that's the case then this thing can be repealed simply by a president saying "make it so!"
