A group of Democratic senators is urging the Obama administration to delay a key portion of Obamacare because the results could be harmful and disruptive.
In a letter exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller, Senate Democrats pleaded with Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell to delay an Obamacare rule change that puts companies with 51 to 100 employees in the costlier small group market instead of the large group market. The rule change, which will result in higher premiums for many companies, goes into effect in 2016.
The letter was signed by Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill, Heidi Heitkamp, Chris Coons, Joe Manchin, Joe Donnelly and Jon Tester and independent Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats.

“The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it” George Will quoted someone else when saying this.
How could the “big f-ing deal” be a detriment to anything. It was supposed to be the end all be all of errythang.
IOW, “This law is a piece of crap and if it is fully implemented before the election, we Dems will get our butts kicked.”
“So please delay it.”
The problem is that they are not enforcing Obamacare. They are delaying the portions that will elicit widespread discontent. The 80% receiving subsidies are happy. Obamacare is not a disaster because they are not fully implementing it.
because the results could be harmful and disruptive.
Yes, and it could significantly affect the 2016 elections. So of course the dems want to postpone it.
We have been grubered.
“Gotta pass it to find out whats in it.” Well, they passed it and now the political stench has become overwhelming.
Sure, just change the law on the fly.
Yup, it’s clearly a political move not for the people of the USA but the DIMs to protect their seats!
There will still be plenty of rope available after 2016.
It’s a plan to get us to convert to muslim so then we won’t have to sign up for it.
ObamaCare IS DEMOCRAT CARE.
I guess in the future if any of you get sick, you’re gonna have to pray like hell that its an Election Year...
