Amid mounting criticism, the White House said Wednesday that it plans to soften the deadline for when Americans are required to purchase health insurance. The date by when Americans would be penalized for not having signed up for health insurance could be slid back by as much as six weeks, administration officials told NBC News.
But it was not immediately clear Wednesday whether the adjustment to a cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act would need to be approved by Congress or could be done by the Department of Health and Human Services administratively.
As the law stands now, individuals are expected to begin the application process via HealthCare.gov by Feb. 15 to avoid a financial penalty when the deadline hits on March 31, since it generally takes about six weeks for the insurance to kick in.
But under the prospective change, individuals will only be expected to have started enrollment by March 31 to avoid incurring a penalty.

IMPEACH THE BASTARD ! since he has no constitutional authority to do this.
Who the hell cares? My insurance has already been cancelled as of 12/1. Being without insurance is a hell of a lot worse than their damn penalty and delaying the penalty doesn’t help me one bit with the situation of being without insurance.
Bunch of damn fools.
OBOMMIE COMMIE CARE
Bill Bennett is as big a fool as any. He keeps repeating that the republicans are powerless because they don’t control the senate.
Idiot excuse maker.
The repubs control the house just like reid controls the spinate. If they had a spine they could block anything just like reid blocks anything he doesn’t like. Idiots.
We can’t impeach obommie the commie because reid would never let the articles come to vote in the spinate.
republican idiots can’t figure the game out?
FU Barry.
“Health care penalty deadline to be delayed”

“I can believe that it took them 2.5 years to go from Request for Quotes to the beginning of actual work; government contracting moves like molasses in winter.”
That doesn’t appear to be what happened. What appears to have happened is that to avoid political resistance/accountability they didn’t prepare the specs until after the election...and were still adjusting the regulations and specs up until early September.
Well sure...
...but HHS can change regulations in accordance with THE DEEMING.
One year from when?

Well, that's a relief.
Actually, the Constitution is the law of the land (Art VI) and it trumps any law to the contrary. Obamacare is both an unjust and unconstitutional law. According to William Blackstone, that qualifies Obamacare to be NO LAW. I agree.
