The act was expected early in 2017 but had been pushed to the second half<\/a> of the year due to rising costs. Earlier reports suggested that the plan will be paid for in part through a new tax on cigarettes, alcohol, and automobiles, while employers cover the balance, by paying the equivalent of 3% of each employee\u2019s salary into a healthcare fund and deducting a further 1% of each staff member\u2019s pay cheque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
