Obama just blinked

Post by _subgenius »

“We agree with you that many of the provisions in the law cannot be implemented within the current time frame,” the letter reads, “but we strongly disagree with you that time will ever remedy these predictable consequences of the law. Many have predicted the problems that your Administration now acknowledges, and each provision you delay continues to demonstrate that the entire law is unworkable.”
...
“Please also provide to Congress your justification for only delaying the employer mandate at this time and not the new mandate on individuals and families,” the letter says, “We agree with you that the burden was overwhelming for employers, but we also believe American families need the same relief.”
...
“please provide to us a complete list of all other provisions in the law that you expect to delay prior to October 1, 2013.”

To many he blinked when he failed to implement a real healthcare system for all.

he has no idea what a real healthcare system is...his concern was an insurance system...not a healthcare system....the former being where the money is

That may or may not be the case but thank you for at least acknowledging that the Healthcare Reform Act is about insurance and not specifically about actual healthcare...so many fail to see the difference. There are many real healthcare programs in place around the world and many gave flaws but it is interesting that I have yet to meet an inhabitant from those countries who would swop their system for ours in the US. A recent trip involved discussions on the subject with Danes, Brits and Irish... all agree that they preferred their systems to ours in the US.
