He can't delay it at this point. Insurers have already sent out letters all over the country telling their customers that their policies have been canceled thanks to Obamacare. For many of these cases, the insurer has finally gained a legal opportunity to drop high-risk patients from their plans. There is no way they are going to reverse these changes without a substantial legal fight.
Obama delaying Obamacare will be even a bigger political disaster than keeping it on schedule. Many Americans will find themselves without insurance on January 1 with no exchanges available for them. Not only will they not have been able to keep the insurance they had, but they won't be able to get any new insurance.
Yet, Obama will get 0% of the blame.
I'm one of those persons.
Hard to know what's going to happen, but no way I'm going to subject myself to the exchanges now.
There may be tremendous pressure on insurers to delay their policy cancellations because there's no way the exchanges are going to be ready to process millions of applicants by Jan. 1.
