Once again a unilateral change has been made to delay the troubled ObamaCare law. President Obama has taken it upon himself to delay online enrollment for small businesses by a year.
The White House administration teed up the narrative that the decision is due to the federal website and, as usual, the president is misleading the American people.
Conveniently, the delaying of enrollment for small businesses holds back the millions upon millions of private insurance cancelation notices that would have been mailed before the 2014 midterm election.
Giving the president the opportunity to dodge the 2014 political bullet and small businesses get a reprieve from the Affordable Care Act until November 2014.
Furthermore, the end of the month is a mere three days away, and the administration is still continuously struggling to repair the HealthCare.gov website for those on the individual market.
Health and Human Services officials are now telling small business owners to sign up directly through an agent, insurer, or broker.
A HHS official stated: “This allows small employers to sign up for coverage through offline enrollment while CMS works on creating an online experience that is operational in the SHOP Marketplace.”
The delay will apply to those in the three dozen states where the federal government is running the marketplace.
Announcements such as these makes it apparently clear that the administration is not only continuing to fail to fix HealthCare.gov, but is also trying to slow down traffic.
Fox News confirms that officials are persuading allies not to drive traffic to the site in order to prevent a crash.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI), claimed the administration of “doing its best to bury the latest confirmation that this law was not ready for prime time.”
HHS urges small businesses to use “direct enrollment” to sign up and other avenues that are available in order to enroll their staff — phone, mail, and in person.
With all of this said it is quite clear that the Obama administration refuses to take advice from professionals such as Bill Gates and John McAfee, who of which both know the problems that occur when you add new code to broken code.
Its like applying caulk to the exterior of a cracked foundation, it is still broken no matter how pretty it looks on the outside. The major issue is President Obama consistently changing the ObamaCare law with a stroke of a pen and as a “constitutional law professor” he would know that he does not have the executive power to unilaterally change congressional laws.
The most obvious is the damaged riddled website is just a simple smoke and screen tactic to cover up the millions that would be dropped during election 2014. ObamaCare just might very well be the Democratic Party’s biggest mistake, no matter how far they try to run from this, they all voted yea.
