(1) Since the passage of the Patient Protection 
and Affordable Care Act (hereafter referred to as 
‘‘PPACA’’), the Administration—through the De-
partment of Health and Human Services and the 
Department of the Treasury—has unilaterally de-
layed or changed PPACA at least eighteen times. 
(2) On July 2, 2013, the Administration de-
layed until 2015 the PPACA requirement that em-
ployers with at least 50 full-time equivalent employ-
ees provide health coverage for their full-time work-
ers or risk paying a penalty to the Internal Revenue 
Service. 
(3) On February 10, 2014, the Administration 
once again delayed the PPACA requirement until 
2016 for employers with between 50 and 99 full- 
time equivalent employees to provide qualified health 
insurance to their employees. 
(4) The Administration lacks the authority to 
unilaterally change statutorily defined dates in order 
to delay the implementation of any provision of 
PPACA. 
(5) If the Administration continues to suspend 
the penalties for businesses absent any statutory au-
thority, then the penalties for all Americans should 
be suspended on the basis of fundamental fairness.
