The announcement came after the administration last July delayed until 2015 the so-called employer mandate associated with the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Obamacare aims to extend health coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, partly by imposing penalties on individuals and businesses not seeking coverage. Most individuals face a tax penalty for not having healthcare coverage in 2014.</p><br clear="all"/>
