NO mandate
No compulsion to buy insurance
No compulsion to buy Insurance
No way to fund Obamacare

Yep looks like the Republicans are trying to sabotage the law before people end up liking it to me

A delay of the individual mandate =/= NO mandate. Besides, there could still be an employee mandate or the cadillac tax for unions but those delays seem fine with you. The call for an individual delay from the dem party is growing. Some are calling for it because it's the right thing to do, some because they fear re-election.

Let's say the website is working perfect by the end of the month, wouldn't an 8 week delay be the right thing to do? If the fixes take longer than that, then the delay should be longer than that. It would make the dems seem a bit more compassionate than they are coming off now. Look at it objectively (as if you are not hopelessly biased) and try to see it from normal people's perspective. Businesses and unions have had their share of costs delayed, but the individual who has had to fight with the website is still being punished. How does one rectify this with being fair?

I'd like to point out, that Democrats of yesteryear are the quintessential Republican of today.

Never fear. The hippies of today are the DEMS of tomorrow.

They will extend the enrollment period. That's it.

A delay now would place many people, you know, the ones who are losing their policies, in a rather precarious position.

The right isnt talking about extending the enrollment period....yet.
They want to delay the individual mandate or anything else that would fund the law.

Their worst nightmare is that people see the benefit of insurance reform in the law and like it

No water the ants die

In a free market the ants would not be forced to pay the cloud exorbitant fees for a sip. They'd simply sidle up to a stream and make a consensual deal.

Yeah, the ants don't pay the cloud. They don't need the rain or the shade. They can be occasional fish food for free.

Damn lying clouds...to the ants...with the cloud actions....you all know ants don't talk to clouds...oh never mind.

I won't say it, because I'm nice, but if I weren't nice, this would be the part where I say I've long suspected you of watching children. Have a nice day.
