[Is it because the administration is afraid that no one is actually going to comply with the law, and noncompliance will be so pervasive that attempts to legally enforce it will amount to naught, and ObamaCare will by default be repealed as a practical matter by the people?]
Exactly. Something like 40 percent of the population have only a vague notion of what ObamaCare is and that they are mandated to participate. Many people think ObamaCare equals free health care. There is so much confusion and there will be so many nonparticipants, due to ignorance alone, that the law may be impossible to enforce, at least in the first couple of years.

“Isnt that what Democrat politicians are for, to explain to us how wonderful their overhaul of healthcare is?”
Don’t forget, it’s so wonderful that they exempted themselves from it!

Works for me! Anything which kills this monster is fine by me, but I think it has so many Achilles heels it won’t be implemented as intended because it simply isn’t sustainable (or comprehensible!)

Wow! Some backbone. I wonder how they’ll stand up to the political winds that find New England or Green Bay’s team mascot names offensive?

F the NFL, a bunch of millionaire athletes who’ve been spoon-fed pablum their entire lives, who so often spit on their adulating fans. A bunch of millionaires who excel at slurping tax money from the public trough. The NFL is the #1 American entertainment addiction. I wouldn’t care much except they expect me to pay for their place of business.

NFL owners know if they punt for Obamacare, fans would revolt, ratings would go down, and they would have $$$$$$ of sports paraphernalia sitting on the shelves.
To: Dilbert San Diego
PSAs would cause anybody with half a brain to do research into it, thus causing more people to not buy in.

Ultimately it will collapse under its own weight. It cannot be sustained as is. It is far too costly and there is too much minutiae.They obviously don't care about that, and don't believe that has a remote possibility of happening. Their confidence is absolute. Must mean something.

I don’t think so. They’re working too hard to get the American people on their side on this issue — and So bilious wouldn’t be hawking it left and right trying to “sell it” if they thought it wouldn’t work. They really have no clue.

“Robert Kraft, who owns three Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, funneled 86% of his $33,600 in individual contributions to Democrats.”
I find this surprising and disappointing.

If I’m not mistaken, Goodall’s father was a GOP Senator back in the late 60’s, appointed to the Senate seat after RFK was killed.

we currently have no plans to engage in this area Doesn't sound very convincing to me . . . I guess they are waiting for the right "incentive" to go ahead.
Every industry should know by now that they don't exist without the Kenyan's good graces.

The ObamaCare ads are going to be EVERYWHERE! In a couple of months we will find what is going to happen to Medicare Advantage. I think the seniors will be pissed. And the ads will make them madder.

To: Brad from Tennessee I dont get. The crappy Obamacare law has already passed. Without getting the currently uninsured Millennials in large numbers the exchanges won't work.
