The House will vote next week to delay the employer and individual mandates in Obamacare, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said Thursday.

House leaders had floated the proposal during a conference meeting earlier this week, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) urged members on Wednesday to “seize the moment” and back the plan. The House will vote on a one-year delay of the employer mandate, which the Obama administration has decided to enact unilaterally, followed by a vote on a one-year delay of the law’s individual mandate.

Doing so will put Democrats in the awkward position of either voting to delay the individual mandate, perhaps the most fundamental provision of the law, or siding with the administration to give special treatment to businesses over individuals and families.

“Is it fair for the president to give American businesses an exemption from his health law’s mandates, without giving the same break to the rest of America? Hell no it’s not fair,” Boehner told reporters Thursday.

“House Republicans are 100 percent for full repeal, and these votes will help to dismantle the president’s Obamacare coalition, split Democrats in a Democratic-controlled Washington, and accelerate the law’s complete demise,” says a House leadership aide. ”As the White House itself says — a strike at the individual mandate is a strike at the heart of Obamacare itself, and is effectively a vote for full Obamacare repeal.”
