House G.O.P. Sues Over Implementation of Health Law

House Republicans filed a long-threatened lawsuit Friday against the Obama administration over unilateral actions on the health care law that they say are abuses of the president’s executive authority.

The lawsuit — filed against the secretaries of the Health and Human Services and Treasury Departments — focuses on two crucial aspects of the way the administration has put the Affordable Care Act into effect.

The suit accuses the Obama administration of unlawfully postponing a requirement that larger employers offer health coverage to their full-time employees or pay penalties. (Larger companies are defined as those with 50 or more employees.)

In July 2013, the administration deferred that requirement until 2015. Seven months later, the administration announced a further delay, until 2016, for employers with 50 to 99 employees.

So John Boehner has announced that the House is suing Obama over his illegal implementation of the ACA. They specifically are enraged that the law that not a single Republican voted for is not being implemented fast enough to suit them although not one of them is covered. Not sure how they claim standing.

This is the suit that two law firms who were hired to file it resigned rather than do it.

The law is being doled out in chunks with the worth parts held until after elections or when Obama is out of office. They stalled before the 2012 elections and they stalled before this one. This is what criminal regime's do....they lie to the people. Obama is lying all the time now...even on shit they don't need to lie about.
