Senate Republicans: PERMANENTLY DELAY THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE


From the Weekly Standard:

All 45 Senate Republicans are calling for the implementation of Obamacare to be permanently delayed. The senators make their request in a letter to President Obama. 
"We write to express concern that in your recent decision to delay implementation of the employer mandate, you have unilaterally acted and failed to work with Congress on such a significant decision.  Further, while your action finally acknowledges some of the many burdens this law will place on job creators, we believe the rest of this law should be permanently delayed for everyone in order to avoid significant economic harm to American families," the senators write.

There is a great deal of value in the thought that by delaying the corp mandate, but not the individual one, this would drive millions deprived of health insurance as corps cut it off or drop hours to 29/week into the federally operated exchanges of OBamacare (which don't exist and are not ready for the October 1 due date)

So, you think it's a bad idea to delay the individual mandate? Is that what you're saying?

If that is so, why are Repubs doing this then? Stupidity?
