Another Obamacare delay: small business enrollment after 2014 midterms

Just in time for a news dump before the holidays. Yet another talking point for the Thanksgiving table, no doubt...

FoxNews: In another delay for the health care law and another sign of problems with its central website, the Obama administration announced a day before the Thanksgiving holiday that it would push off online enrollment for small businesses by another year.

The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that it will delay the launch of the online SHOP Marketplace -- which is meant for small businesses -- until November 2014. Officials did not give a hard deadline, though the start could easily slip past the 2014 midterms, sparing the administration any headaches right before the election.

Critics, though, said the move would create more "onerous" paperwork for job creators during the next year.
Yeah, we wouldn't want the Democratic statists who passed this monstrosity into law with a super-partisan super-majority to fret about their reelection chances.
