The employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act has been pushed back a year to 2015, according to a blog post from the Treasury Department. A major component of the law, the provision requires employees with at least 50 full-time workers to offer health insurance or face penalties. The development pushed every Republican to pounce on the health-care law, describing the delay as set-up for disaster. "This is a clear acknowledgment that the law is unworkable, and it underscores the need to repeal the law and replace it with effective, patient-centered reforms," House Speaker John Boehner said.
