Other Democrats now say they agree with Republicans that a delay of the individual mandate may be the only way to salvage the disaster and save face.
"I think the administration is going to have to look at it [delay of the individual mandate]. and I'd encourage them to do so," said Rep. Gene Green (D-TX).
Five Democrats have now asked for the Obama Administration to seek a refund from the contractors responsible for the Obamacare website fiasco. Reps. Ron Barber (D-AZ), William Enyart (D-IL), Pete Gallego (D-TX), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging the reimbursement effort.

Pssssst - how about Hussein?
unconstitutioal that we have to buy or else............ when others skate?
They need a daily dose of in your face.
Delaying the implementation of a death spiral serves no purpose.
Ted Cruz was right.
you bet cruz was right....and so were we before Obamacare.
“You broke it, you bought it.”
In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obamas promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.
Senate Democrats voted to kill the bill.

They can "seek" all they want, but if they demand it there will undoubtedly be a lawsuit, during which the contractors council would demand all kinds of things in discovery that the Obmammas absolutely do not want coming out.
Forget about any refund.
Besides, the contractors are FOMs, are they not? Fugeddaboudit.
.... HA!!!...... Caveat Emptor!
Sebelius needs to refund her salary earned to date.
I disagree with that assessment. Just a few weeks back, Democrats were in complete unity regarding ObamaCare. When it actually counted, they let their positions be known by going on record and voting to move forward with it's implementation. Even when faced with the proposition of delaying it for a year, Democrats sided with ObamaCare.
So I really don't trust a word of what they say now. All I know is what they did. And less than one month ago, they voted to keep it. Even those Democrats who claim to be pro-life voted for it, and they did so right after it was revealed that ObamaCare funds abortion.
If you put it to a vote right now, there would be at least 51 Democrat Senators voting to keep ObamaCare as is.
“Other Democrats now say they agree with Republicans that a delay of the individual mandate may be the only way to salvage the disaster and save face. “
By all means, the GOPe can pull their asses out of the fire so the Democrats can get re-elected.
This could well wreck the health insurance industry, or at least that segment which sells to individuals and families. That probably is what this bunch intended all along.
I am so cynical of these rat bastards, that I think all they are trying to do, is put on a good face, to get re elected.
The vast majority of sign ups are for Medicaid. This thing is going to finally bring the whole house of cards down.
How do you hold any politician accountable even when they claim that they take “full responsibility” of their actions?
The concept of responsibility in American politics is meaningless and laughable — they are just empty words spouted forth in order to give the politician a sense of (false) dignity and unearned respect.
But they’ll scramble back on that sinking ship come election time.
