Delay stirs worries over health care law
The sudden one year delay of a major provision in Barack Obama's health care overhaul alarms administration allies and critics. White House says the overhaul will still be fully implemented by end of term, but the postponement affects employers with many low wage workers, like restaurants and hotels, who will miss offering coverage next year though workers may still obtain subsidized insurance via new marketplaces starting Oct. 1.
