The Obama administration said Wednesday that it would allow consumers to renew health insurance policies that do not comply with the Affordable Care Act for two more years.
The action helps Democrats in tight midterm election races because it avoids the cancellation of insurance policies that would otherwise have occurred at the height of the political campaign season this fall.
Administration officials said that people would be able to keep noncompliant policies through 2016 if state officials agreed.

Republicans said they were not surprised by the president’s latest move. Indeed, they said it confirmed their contention that parts of the health care law were unpopular and unworkable.
The reprieve for noncompliant policies was the latest in a series of waivers, deadline extensions, delays, and dispensations announced by the administration. Lawyers said Obama was testing the limits of his powers.
“I support national health care, but what the president is doing is effectively amending or negating the federal law to fit his preferred approach,” said Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University. “Democrats will rue the day if they remain silent in the face of this shift of power to the executive branch.”Read the full story HERE.
This latest delay will probably result in lots of OOHS and AAHS from the semi-brain dead who are too stupid to realize this is just Imbecile bait designed for them.
These folks live for today and the only 'big picture' they understand are their TV's .. probably tuned into MSNBC.
2016 when, everything goes back into effect, is to far off and out of their mental range of thought and comprehension for them to see that this is nothing more than a Team Obama 2014 midterm elections ploy
