Delayed

The NY Times insinuates that the motive is partly electoral:

The Obama administration announced on Tuesday that it would delay for a year, until 2015, the Affordable Care Act mandate that employers provide coverage for their workers or pay penalties, responding to business complaints and postponing the effective date beyond next year’s midterm elections.

That's the employer mandate. I guess the individual mandate (a.k.a. "tax") is still in place.

A bit of train wreck

has been delayed.

But as for the rest,

they will not be stayed!
