There’s a reason the enforcement mechanism for the ACA (Obamacare) is the IRS.   There’s also a specific reason why the fiscal year begins on October 1st and the calendar year January 1st. First watch this video:


Both the federal income tax code and the Obamacare tax code are based on systemic architectural baselines, “standards”, which must be in place prior to user based data inputs into the system(s) to determine the tax payers liability.
Inside the construct of this architecture you find the political risk to the Spite House, to the administration and to Democrats in general.    It is in their collective best interests that tax payers do not find out the depth of their predicted liability.   Hence, we are seeing numerous outlets reporting a growing frustration with the ACA system not providing the information.   This is not accidental, it is more likely by design.


Reuters wrote an article about this yesterday and noted:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw development of the site, declined to make any of its IT experts available for interviews. CGI Group Inc, the Canadian contractor that built HealthCare.gov, is “declining to comment at this time,” said spokeswoman Linda Odorisio.

Five outside technology experts interviewed by Reuters, however, say they believe flaws in system architecture, not traffic alone, contributed to the problems.  (read more)

Information such as being able to compare current costs (pre-Obamacare) to new costs (as a consequence of Obamacare) represent a risk to the political future of this administration.  As each person impacted, which is almost every tax payer, recognize their individual insurance premium, now ‘tax liability’, growing, the opposition toward Obamacare grows.
This increase is based on multiple factors, but essentially the scope of the required policy coverage, combined with the need to charge higher premiums to subsidize the lower income ranges, means for most Americans a significant increase in health insurance costs.  Those premium costs are now defined as “taxes”.   The IRS has the enforcement responsibility to make sure each person pays.
Again, this represents a political risk.  Because, like all tax increases, those who are paying the higher taxes are not of a general disposition to voluntarily do so.  So, when you look through the political prism, it is in the tax collector’s best interest to delay recognition of tax liability as long as possible.
This recognition is also ultimately why “businesses” have been given an extension to comply with new health tax mandates and individuals have not.   If businesses did not have the delay, they would begin making their budget decisions now – they would begin laying people off – because like the individual tax increase, the business is also seeing a tax increase.   If business income is going to be impacted, businesses will begin reducing costs.  The number one cost is payroll; only now each employee is not only considered a cost from a direct payroll perspective (wages), but also the healthcare tax liability each employee now carries and represents.
Rather than see mass layoffs in advance of an election, President Obama postponed the visible risk until after the 2014 election by giving businesses a delay in compliance.
Even Jon Stewart has sensed the administration is lying about motive.    While further destruction of our economy is no laughing matter , his recognition was actually quite funny:


Everything the Obama administration does is first poured through the considerations of politics and political risk.
It is just how they operate.
