Democrats say White House won’t delay Obamacare employer mandate again (penalty “integral”)
NY Daily News ^ | 4/06/14 | Adam Edelman

Democrats fought back Sunday against claims from a former Obama aide that the White House might delay Obamacare’s employer mandate.

House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi called the mandate, which requires businesses with between 50 and 100 employees to provide health insurance for workers or face a penalty, “integral.”

“Of all the things I want to say about the Affordable Care Act, Robert Gibbs' opinion, I don't know who his clients are or what his perspective is, but we are celebrating the fact that we have over 7 million who have signed up,” the California Democrat said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

If Pelosi says it won’t happen then it will happen.

Pride causing their own fall and they’re too stupid to realize it. Ain’t it great?

Pelousy: If you like your employer mandate,
you will KEEP your employer mandate.

“Democrats say White House won’t delay Obamacare employer mandate again”

Well, given that the Obammunists have lied 100% of the time about everything they’ve said about Obamacare, this is an absolute guarantee that they WILL in fact delay the employer mandate some more.

Can I ask a stupid question?

If there were 40 or 50 million uninsured before Obamacare came along, and 7 million have signed up, don’t we still have tens of millions still uninsured?

Why does Nancy want to celebrate that 7 million have signed up, if that means at least 33 million are still uninsured????

why did the president spike the football on this statistic also? Why is it okay for a small fraction of uninsured to sign up, and we’re saying that this a sign of success????

7 million who have signed up, how many are illegal aliens or generational dependents of the federal government? Integral means necessary to fund a scam to offer healthcare to those who will not

You asked....
“Can I ask a stupid question?(It's a good question)

If there were 40 or 50 million uninsured before Obamacare came along, and 7 million have signed up, don’t we still have tens of millions still uninsured?(because Obamacare isn't about health care and that number will rise as more people lose their insurance)

Why does Nancy want to celebrate that 7 million have signed up, if that means at least 33 million are still uninsured????(because they are desperate. They can see what waits for them in Nov. so they are trying to put a happy face on nonsense)

why did the president spike the football on this statistic also?(see above. That 7 million is meaningless) Why is it okay for a small fraction of uninsured to sign up, and we’re saying that this a sign of success????”(and the sign up stats are bad. probably worse than we know so the president is trying to rally dispirited leftists)

Mine in parenthesis

I've been saying for months that the employer mandate is going to disappear -- either through an overhaul of ObamaCare by Congress or through indefinite delays by the Obama administration.

The whole purpose of this stupid law is to separate a person's medical insurance coverage from their employment situation. That's why both major parties are on board ... because every major U.S. corporation stands to benefit handsomely from it.

There was no reason to delay the Employer Mandate in the first place except to postpone its inevitably bad consequences, both for employers and workers, until after the 2014 elections.

As if the 2014 elections aren’t predicted to be bad enough anyway. But, apparently, Nancy Pelosi now feels the need go out of her way to assure the pro-ObamaCare left that Obama and the Democrats are firmly committed to keeping socialized medicine the law of the land. Otherwise, the left may get angry and not come out to vote in November.

Well, they know they can lie, and lie, and lie, and bury anything inconvenient under the rug, and the media will happily go along with it. So, why not?

In the first place, 7 million is probably at least double the actual number of those who have signed up and paid.

In the second place, they've driven MORE than 7 million people out of the insurance they had before this happened.

In the third place, those who have signed up will be paying much more than they were before--unless they are illegal aliens or certified food-stamp users. Then they'll be thrown into Medicaid or medicare, and further bankrupt those systems.

But how many people understand any of this, since no one has come out and told them the truth?

The next wave of Obamacare horror stories won’t be about cancellations.
