This article talks about Obama extending the deadline on the health plan for some states to December 14 and in some cases February 15. Most people were waiting for his reelection, and/or the outcome of the Supreme Court case challenging the health care law.
“Consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will have access to insurance through these new marketplaces on Jan. 1, 2014, as scheduled, with no delays,” Ms. Sebelius told governors. “This administration is committed to providing significant flexibility for building a marketplace that best meets your state’s needs.”
but Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, "said the change in the deadline was 'no surprise' because the White House had not given states enough information or guidance to make decisions...the fact that the exchanges are such a mess is pretty emblematic of how flawed the president’s health law is — with states having to bear the brunt.”
What do you think? Who do you agree with?
