they provide affordable to their workers. it is a major concession to critics who argued the law is far too complex. critics also say this may be just the start. >> this is the first light we're seeing at the tunnel heading right at us. they're backing off. if they can blink once, i think they'll blink twice. i think more things will be suspended. >> there may be a political calculation to this as well. this is -- skwrufpt as the most unpopular parts of the obamacare were delayed until after the election, the latest will help protect democrats. for some, insurance premiums under obamacare could skyrocket. over the weekend the president in a videotaped speech defended the cost. >> insurance companies will compete for your business which means more choices and more affordable premiums. >> it is important to note this is a delay in the employer mandate, not in the individual mandate.
