Democratic Senators Beg For Another Obamacare Delay
Daily Caller ^ | 03/23/2015 | PATRICK HOWLEY

A group of Democratic senators is urging the Obama administration to delay a key portion of Obamacare because the results could be “harmful and disruptive.”

In a letter exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller, Senate Democrats pleaded with Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell to delay an Obamacare rule change that puts companies with 51 to 100 employees in the costlier “small group” market instead of the “large group” market. The rule change, which will result in higher premiums for many companies, goes into effect in 2016.

The letter was signed by Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill, Heidi Heitkamp, Chris Coons, Joe Manchin, Joe Donnelly and Jon Tester and independent Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats.

“The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it” George Will quoted someone else when saying this.

IOW, “This law is a piece of crap and if it is fully implemented before the election, we Dems will get our butts kicked.”

“So please delay it.”

The problem is that they are not enforcing Obamacare. They are delaying the portions that will elicit widespread discontent. The 80% receiving subsidies are happy. Obamacare is not a disaster because they are not fully implementing it.

Yes, and it could significantly affect the 2016 elections. So of course the dems want to postpone it.

We have been grubered.

Yup, it’s clearly a political move not for the people of the USA but the DIMs to protect their seats!

How ironic, obozo has had to change the ACA law a number of times, illegally of course, as to avert its true affects over the forced changes to our health care system and now the liberals who jammed this POS down the American’s throats are begging to delay it again in order to postpone its full negative affects, again. Hey Commie Liberals and resident fraud obozo, there is no good time to activate this POS law but NOW would be a good time to repeal it.
