Administration delays Obamacare small business provision

During the push for national health care, one of President Obama’s major selling points was that the legislation he supported would help small businesses struggling to provide health care to their employees.

“If you strike out on your own and start a small business, you’ll be able to get coverage,” Obama said during his Sept. 2009 health care pitch before a joint session of Congress. “We’ll do this by creating a new insurance exchange — a marketplace where individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for health insurance at competitive prices.”
