You're an optimist? I'd hate to see what pessimism looks like in your world. Holy Shit.

The employer mandate is hardly as important to the success of the ACA as is the individual mandate. That is why Obama feels flexible to modify it.

to quote the LA Times:
The delay also fueled new speculation that the employer mandate might eventually be scrapped because it is cumbersome and may not be necessary to prompt employers to provide coverage.
The administration has not delayed the penalty on individuals who do not get health coverage this year.
Most health experts believe the individual mandate is much more central to the law. It is designed to create a pool of insured Americans large enough and healthy enough to support the system of guaranteeing coverage even to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
Administration officials said the phase-in period would give businesses more time to adapt to the new requirement in the 2010 law.

Yes, the shocking practice of paying unemployment insurance and trying to provide medical coverage for more Americans is right up there with, Kristallnacht, the Holocaust, forced relocations and Stalinist Purges.

In the mind of a Conservative, anyhow.

I know, Bob; "WTF?" I feel the same way.

I've got a big red hammer and sickle and a choo choo train just like the ones in the opening ceremonies at Sochi. It came in the mail when I signed up as a registered Democrat way back in the '70s. I also have a lifetime supply of Electric Kool=Aid with LSD-25 straight outta Owsleys' labs.

It sure is amazing what some people will believe....Oppression? What a joke.
