The liberals do not care. If it creates more debt, they will blame the sequester, Republicans and Bush.
They only care about delaying the effects until after the 2014 mid-term elections. That is all.
I understand that this is a political decision, but there are real world consequences and some of them could be very damaging politically. This decision could backfire and cause the Dems even more problems, politically and otherwise. Obamacare is a very complex system with many moving, interdependent parts. Making changes on one part on the fly could cause many other problems.
Keep saying they are only doing this because of the 2014 elections, and then that will leave them with only one choice. They'll have to shift the time of the 2014 elections!
