I see, so the delay is a political move because small business employees are going to be hurt just before the election...or wait, it's because the government can't manage the massive influx of registrants.I thought the point was to create socialized medicine?

You can't have it both ways.

oh it is.....but with public opinion on Obamacare right now so low and the realization that we've been lied to about just about everything related to Obamacare...and all of the other Obama messes and scandals....the prospect of the system unable to handle the masses clamoring for Obamacare because they've been booted or can't afford their insurance due to the mandates after all of the promises made and right before the midterms and a potential eviction of dems....it could spell ultimate disaster for Obamacare and a retreat from the goal of socialized medicine....can't believe I have to spell this out for you....

so we delay it a little bit, hope to maintain control of some of the hill and buy a little time...not the first time....remember the Keystone Pipeline ?....probably to bleep things up even further...the option of not delaying is not a good one if you are Obama or a dem up for re-election

Why the heck can't we have it both ways?

The notion that the delay is tied to the 2014 midterms, and the notion that the delay is due to the fact that the feds don't have the infrastructure yet, are not even close to being mutually exclusive. It's not necessarily one or the other. So nice try, but no cigar.

So now the IRS, which will add 16,000 new employees to oversee Obamacare
does not want to be covered by it themselves. What does that tell you about
this program for the rest of us?
Senators Rubio, FL and Cruz TX are spearheading a group to exclude Obamacare
by defunding it from the budget in September. How else can you get rid of a program that no one knows it's entirety in it's 2,700 pages, large portions have been put off until 2015, small business doesn't know where they stand, and something like ,if my memory serves me, 62% of Americans don't want ?

OK, something like 97% of Fed Govt. employees don't want it, Unions don't want it,
IRS doesn't want it and Congress will still have their own plan.
The only ones left are the rest of us and looks like there'll be no Festiveus.
Where are the defenders, and what is there to defend?
The silence is deafening.

I THINK he is referencing this....

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
