ACA (Obamacare) updates for 2014

Back on subject (like a bunch of kids who can't stay on topic).

Can anyone tell me why President Obama has extended the employer mandates out two years?

So the next administration can point to all this as a failure and more easily implement single payer.

Single payer? We can only hope....

But that's not the reason.....

But you knew that.

And now per thehill.com, Team Obama is rolling back their planned changes to Medicare.
Wouldn't it be funny if ACA was gradually taken apart piece by piece, but not by the GOP but by the man who signed this "big fu**ing deal"?

Then what is the reason for President Obama pushing the employer mandate back for two years?

In a Florida special election seen as a referendum on ACA the Dem Sink lost to Republican Jolly. Foreshadowing for November?

That's a tough one RR... 2014 + 2 years? Hmm, is there anything important happening in 2014 or 2016 that might have to do with politicians keeping their posts? Nah, that would be far too obvious, there has to be something more involved in how that decision was made. Then again, since Barry makes changes on the fly without following the legislative process who knows what else will change between now and 2016.

lol No nothing important during that time. Never mind that the Dems are going down in smoke.

Little-Known Health Act Fact: Prison Inmates Are Signing Up
In a little-noticed outcome of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, jails and prisons around the country are beginning to sign up inmates for health insurance under the law, taking advantage of the expansion of Medicaid that allows states to extend coverage to single and childless adults — a major part of the prison population.

While I'd love to think so, he won in a Republican controlled district, replacing a longtime Republican. I don't think you can extrapolate that victory out to the entire country.
