White House Delays Individual Mandate for Millions of Americans Until After the Midterms and the President Is Out of Office | TheBlaze.com:
"It’s worth pointing out that as the Affordable Care Act has been repeatedly tweaked, delayed and modified, the president and his allies have publicly denounced efforts to repeal the law or delay it until it can be fixed.
But why the secrecy behind postponing the individual mandate?
The Wall Street Journal has a theory:
HHS is also trying to pre-empt the inevitable political blowback from the nasty 2015 tax surprise of fining the uninsured for being uninsured, which could help reopen ObamaCare if voters elect a Republican Senate this November. Keeping its mandate waiver secret for now is an attempt get past November and in the meantime sign up as many people as possible for government-subsidized health care."
