WASHINGTON, D.C., July 2, 2013 — National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Amanda Austin, Director of Federal Public Policy, made the following statement in regards to the administration’s announcement that it is delaying implementation of the employer mandate provision of the healthcare law for one year:
“This is simply the latest evidence that implementation of this terrible law is going to be difficult if not impossible, and the burden is going to fall on the people who create American jobs. Temporary relief is small consolation. We need a permanent fix to this provision to provide long term relief for small employers.”
