Delay Obamacare? Not as easy as you think -

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/obamacare-enrollment-delay-democrats-98877.html?hp=l4

More and more Democrats worried about the 2014 election are beginning to join the Republican call to delay the Obamacare enrollment season.
But it’s not as easy as bumping things back a few days on the calendar.
what good are politicians of one party voting opposite their party's way because they live in a red district, what good does that do for the party effort.  they might as well completely turn their coat because they are not pursuing the Progressive agenda in fact they are collaborating against it.
Insurance companies would raise a ruckus because they set their prices based on customers enrolling before April. The Obama administration doesn’t want to push the successful enrollment stories until any later than they have to. And neither want to give procrastinators another reason to wait to sign up.
i don't know amid all the republican undeserved bad mouthing it could have used a little oomph.
In fact, insurance companies have a lot to lose from a delay. They need to start racking up paying customers as early as possible in 2014 so they can set rates for 2015.
The calls for delay come amid the flawed rollout of HealthCare.gov, which some Democrats — and many Republicans — say could prevent people from learning about the law and enrolling by the time they face the mandate’s fines.
with republicans ignoring the wishes of their bribers nowadays they will pursue that impossible dream of killig ACA so who are they working for these days?
