"Delaying the Affordable Care Act wouldn’t delay people’s cancer or diabetes or Parkinson. It doesn’t delay the higher cost all of us pay when uninsured Americans are left with no choice but to rely on emergency rooms for care. So, for millions of Americans, delay is not an option."Yet, just last weekend, another delay -- the 27th so far in less than a year -- was put in place. This time it again postpones the employer mandate for businesses with 50 to 100 employees until January 2016. Thui, conveniently avoids the onslaught of expected insurance cancellations that would have occurred during the run up to the 2014 elections as many employers might choose to pay the penalty versus providing insurance by the current January 1, 2015 deadline.
Apparently, cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's will now have to wait after all until the Democrats are able to skate through the 2014 elections without all the problems of ObamaCare hanging around their necks. Obviously, the President's delay of all the insurance-killing and job-killing aspects of his health care reform completely contradicts the expressed belief by the Democratic National Committee Chairman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, that they will run on ObamaCare in 2014 and win.
One has to wonder. If it is so great for America, why should so much of it have to be delayed? After all, Sebellius told us that it wasn't an option.
