The Post is pointing out the fragility of the ACA house of cards. Any delay of the mandate will reduce enrollments of young healthy people while the chronically ill continue to sign up. The insurers’ business formula is based on the timetable in the law and on the penalties. Once Congress starts tinkering it will be at the expense of the insurers who would then be justified in raising rates or pulling out of the program. The White House most likely has a single payer amendment, already written, to replace the private insurance component of the law. Maybe it’s hidden in the 20,000 pages of regulations.

Everyone's already seen the CBS News story from this morning on there already being an unsustainable number Medicaid enrollees in states where the exchanges are working, right?

Thanks for link. I saw another story tonight saying all of Oregon's enrollments—which were held up this week as an ObamaCare success story—turn out to be Medicaid clients. The Medicaid expansion is being funded by looting $760 billion from Medicare.
