One thing is clear about Obamacare – it is here to stay for the foreseeable future, even if the President has delayed the implementation of some aspects of his plan. That means we had better start preparing for the program whether we agree with it or not.
We had better get ready for Obamacare because it will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014, and when it does, Obamacare will be the law of the land, and we’ll have to obey it.
For those of you who have been living under a rock, Obamacare will require all Americans to buy health insurance or pay extra taxes. Practically, that means it will raise the average person’s income tax by around $100 if they don’t buy insurance. At the moment, nobody will go to jail or face prosecution for not buying health insurance.
What’s Been Delayed
The provision of Obamacare that has been delayed is the employer mandate, which would require businesses that employ more than 50 people to provide employer health insurance. Obama has delayed this for one year because it has been extremely unpopular.
This will not affect most businesses because the vast majority of small businesses employ less than 50 people.
