Editorial Says Employer Mandate Delay Likely an Admission That Obamacare Is ‘Unpopular’

A U-T San Diego editorial argues that the Obama administration's decision to delay for one year a requirement that large companies provide health insurance coverage to workers appears to be a "tacit admission that Obamacare is deeply unpopular -- and that its implementation will only make it more so." The editorial asks, "If the Affordable Care Act does precisely the opposite of what its name implies, why not scrap the whole thing and start over?"
