  • Description: Businesses won't be penalized next year if they fail to provide workers health insurance after the Obama administration decided yesterday to delay a key requirement under its signature 2010 health care law.

The military’s actions came as enormous crowds of the president’s supporters and opponents filled the streets of the capital and soldiers were deployed in significant numbers to keep the spiraling political crisis from going out of complete control.
