Parts of ObamaCare are starting to fray, even before full implementation.

The Obama administration now says a special system of exchanges designed to make it easier for small businesses to provide insurance will be delayed an entire year -- to 2015.

"Lots of small businesses struggle with providing insurance for their workers so this was supposed to facilitate it and make it easier for small business to do this," said Jim Capretta of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "It was a huge portion of the sale job. When they passed the law in 2010 there were many senators and members of Congress who were saying 'I am doing this because it's going to help small businesses.'"

The exchanges were designed to give workers a range of choices supported by dollars from their employers. But now they will have only one choice until 2015, which could mean they can't shop for insurance that includes their current providers. Capretta said the administration is "way" behind schedule.

Only problem with that is the GOP is working overtime to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

That would spell political disaster for the GOP (which is undoubtedly why you're advocating it).

Affordable Care Act Leads to Unexpected Breast Pump Shortage

INDIANAPOLIS - An unintended consequence of a new law designed to encourage mothers to breastfeed is placing many new mothers on a waiting list.

A shortage of breast pumps has occurred since a provision of the Affordable Care Act went into effect last August.

The provision requires insurance companies to pay 100 percent of the cost of a breast pump for nursing mothers.

However, since insurance providers require that the pumps be sold only through specific vendors like medical supply companies, an unexpected shortage has occurred.

“We might see this in other areas of the Affordable Care Act, but clearly, it caught people off guard, and this is an important issue for mothers and babies,” said Tina Cardarelli, a state breastfeeding coordinator.

Remember what Pelosi said: "We've got to pass it to find out what's in it".

I think we're beginning to see some of that nasty stuff.

BWAHAHAHA!

I received military medical coverage when my first child was born. I paid out of pocket for one of these pumps.

It never occurred to me that our government pays for breast pumps, today. No wonder we're dying as a nation.

Be nice. Since it wasn't voted for by any GOP and its becoming evident it's unpopular, an expensive disaster and not what was promised, why?

Look, Palinista, you don't want Obamacare and I don't, but is currently a duly constituted law of the land, passed by Congress and reviewd by the Supreme Court.

If the Republican Congress unilaterally defunded Obamacare, the Dems and the MSM would pounce on them like Batman, relentlessly labeling the GOP as a renegade, lawlewss party for the next 50 years.

It would be a colossal political blunder.

The only way out of Obamacare now (at the Federal level) is to repeal it.

Personally I don't care how we get rid of Obamacare......defund or repeal......it matters not.

So long as we ultimately rid ourselves of this monster!

My two cents.
