Another Obamacare Delay: Limit On Consumer Costs

The Obama administration has delayed a provision in the Affordable Care Act.

The limit on out-of-pocket costs for consumers will now be delayed until 2015, in a setback to the president’s health care law.

The Obama administration announced the delay earlier this year on a Department of Labor website, but it went largely unnoticed until now.

Kaiser Health News reported on the delay back in April.
