Obama Administration Wants Exchanges in Place Prior To Employer Mandate

The Administration of the President of The United States Barack Obama wants the health insurance exchanges operating prior to the employer mandate.  On Tuesday July 2, 2013 on the United States Department of Treasury website Mark J. Mazur under the screen Treasury Notes announced a one year postponement. 

The employer mandate due to begin on January 1, 2014 has been put on hold for one year.  Under the Affordable Care Act the mandate required employers with 50 or more employees to provide a standard health insurance plan to their work force or pay a 2 thousand dollar fine per employee.

This is a management strategy designed to facilitate a national level health insurance process.  The Administration recognizes the employers compliance is directly related to the availability of options through the health insurance exchanges. 

As residents of each State better understand the Health Insurance Exchange , business to Treasury reporting requirements will be simplified.   The business communities ability to comprehend and utilize the Health Insurance Exchange expands internal quality.  The extra year will allow States time to assemble and improve the Health Insurance Exchange process.

This is a Presidential move similar to President Lyndon B. Johnson when he had Robert Ball the Commissioner of Social Security wait until the summer of 1966 to roll out Medicare.  The Administration believed there would be less utilization during the summer months improving the chances for the establishment of the Medicare program.

The Administration places a high level of importance on community promotion and education.  Access to health care benefits through an established process will improve community buy in.  Home Care Path encourages seniors to watch this process as it unfolds.
