Consideration of the House bill comes in the same week that The Wall Street Journal reported that the Obama administration has quietly decided to allow people not to buy insurance if newly available plans are too expensive. This exemption from the mandate would last for two years, until 2016.

It's gonna be hard for Democrats to oppose this since The One just delayed the mandate for two years.

They should delay the mandate for two years, as already ordered by Obama, tinker with other details one by one to match the commands from our lawless White House, and somewhere in the middle of the list repeal Public Laws 111–148 and 111–152. If I worked on a congressional staff, I would try to get on a conference committee to slip the line repealing Public Law 111–148 and Public Law 111–152 into an obscure paragraph of a bulky must-pass bill. It would be sleazy, but sleaze in a good cause is exactly the right response to the sleaze used to pass this evil law.

An individual mandate delay forces the commies to vote against it. The likely commie defense will be to “reform” or “fix” 0-care. Repealing the mandate or delaying it for a long time will fix 0-care for good.

It won't be difficult for them to oppose it at all. And oppose it they will.

Stupid move by the stupid party.
