Why not 6? I'm suspicious. 18 months is a long time.

Coincidentally, HHS delayed the healthcare coverage rules for small employers until 2015 as well. Considering that the majority of undocumented individuals work for small business owners, this would affect CIR beneficiaries as well. Too coincidental.
