White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was dismissive Thursday of comments by Sen. Joe Manchin endorsing a one-year delay of the new health care law's individual mandate.
"The fact is you have to make the system work," Carney told reporters during the White House press briefing.
The argument, by Manchin and others, is that such a delay would be only fair to the American people after the Obama administration granted a similar delay to large businesses in their reporting requirement for providing health insurance to their employees.
To that, Carney and other Obamacare supporters argue that the individual mandate is the lynchpin of the entire law, the only way to ensure lower prices and put enough money in the system for insurers to affordably cover the sick and healthy alike.
The reason that those with preexisting conditions won't be denied insurance under Obamacare "is because of the expansion of the number people who will be covered and participate in these marketplaces provided by the Affordable Care Act through the individual mandate," Carney said.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
Somebody should take the tires off his car and leave a note to go ahead and drive it before it got fixed because "The fact is you have to make the system work."
