Default Obamacare delay coming.

Well the House has passed a delay on both the individual and corporate mandate. Lets see if the Senate does the same on both. Bet Obama tries to keep the individual mandate timetable.

It's all about politics.
We leave the Zimmerman case where the government is trying to blame gun laws on the verdict to BO delaying parts of Obamacare because of the 2014 election. But hey...anything that delays that debacle is probably a good thing.
If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.

I won't cry if Obamacare never goes into permanent effect. Forcing everyone to buy health insurance is not what healthcare overhaul should be about. It's just the opposite and will only benefit the insurance companies. The people will still be left with co-pays and deductibles on their health services.
Those working minimum wage jobs can ill afford the premiums as well as the twenty percent co-pays.
I think it would be better and certainly more fair to all if they fashioned a national healthcare system similar to what Canada has.

But, alas, the wheels of commerce and corruption require ample amounts of green grease, so, it's never going to change to anything better.

I think all should contribute. I have been for years through higher premiums to cover those that do not have coverage. I was left with deductibles and co-pays for decades. Now everyone can join the party! Sequester on baby!
