“‘Tis the season for another delay for the president’s signature health law. Announcing Obamacare delays as Americans unplug with their loved ones has become routine for the Obama administration, and this Christmas season is no different,” reads a committee statement.
On Monday the U.S. Treasury Department delayed the deadline to distribute forms to individuals to report health coverage by two months and deadlines to return the forms to the IRS by three months.
“Delaying burdensome and complex requirements of the healthcare law won’t remedy the situation. The bottom line is simple — Obamacare is not working and has been defined by rising costs, fewer choices, lost coverage, and countless broken promises,” the committee said.
The Treasury Department said it was extending the deadlines as a result of feedback from the private sector. The delay does not change any implementation of the ACA, and according to the Treasury Department, will not affect most taxpayers.
