What a HORRIBLE idea. If we can't defund it and kill it...then it is VITAL the sheeple feel the full impact
The only way Obamacare EVER gets repealed is if the people rise up and vote out those responsible. BOTH PARTIES. Delaying it ensure this won't happen. This is asinine.
Do they just laugh at us because we are not paying them donor fees and other such incentives?
Are they actually a Uniparty and they don’t want to be the majority or don’t care?
Because once it is actually started, the funding for Obamacare “Education” and “Navigation” becomes the DemocRAT ground game for the 2014 election. Delaying it a year levels the playing field. There will still be horror stories because it is a delay and not a repeal.
Delaying it, unlike the defunding option currently underway, would actually be the better near-term approach to stopping it. Delaying it includes everything, even those parts not covered by the CR - the most critical of which is the subsidies which start on Jan. 1. Once you start giving people money, you'll never be able to stop it.
The biggest near-term economic impact of Obamacare is the uncertainty cloud hanging over employers' and health care proessionals' heads. A delay doesn't alleviate that - if anything, it unfortunately enhances that.
Delay is actually not a bad plan in this case. The GOP doesn't have enough power to completely repeal it until at least 2017 (hopefully, though I suppose a miraculous 2014 showing could let them hold the entire government hostage until Obama yields), so any effort to slow it down - especially the subsidies - is a good idea.
Hi NELSON, I hope you are well.
Perhaps the delay until end of December is to accommodate GOPers running for re-election? They can’t be expected to be shackled in Washington while there are votes to be gathered. Can they?

The problem though, is that if ObamaCare is funded - it will NEVER be repealed. Period
Federal programs like this never go away. They might get renamed, but they don’t go away, they only grow bigger, less efficient, and more expensive. Period.
Even the supposed Welfare reforms of the Clinton days didn’t really get rid of Welfare, it just shifted programs, renamed programs, and “shuffled the deck”. And the few tiny improvements (like requirements to work) have been removed by Obummer...
