WASHINGTON - The Obama administration announced Wednesday a one-year delay in a provision of the Affordable Care Act intended to allow small businesses to sign up employees for health insurance under the health law's troubled website.
The administration had previously announced it was delaying the scheduled Oct. 1 start for The Small Business Health Options Program, known as SHOP, until November. On Wednesday, it announced online enrollment will now begin in November, 2014, for coverage in January, 2015.
