It notes uninsured people already confused by the law and says the January 2014 deadline for individual insurance and tax credits remains. The employer mandate is delayed, affecting some workers, and most people with existing coverage are not impacted. It mentions exchanges, penalties, and exemptions for large and small employers, Medicaid, Medicare, and private policies.
