Read the below on line this morning and am just wondering where these folks were when the non-negotiable negotiations were going on? Are the democrats so dense or ideologue driven that they are just now realizing what the republicans/tea party have been saying for years about the ACA? Or could it be they are merely just playing to their constituents for fear of losing their seat? Cannot wait to see how the left spins this. Uh-oh. Don’t look now, but some Democrats are beginning to call for relief from ObamaCare’s individual mandate. The latest is Colorado’s Jared Polis: Health insurance rates are so high in Colorado’s mountain resort areas that U.S. Rep. Jared Polis plans to seek waivers from the federal government so people who skip buying insurance in 2014 won’t face financial penalties. “We will be encouraging a waiver. It will be difficult for Summit County residents to become insured. For the vast majority, it’s too high a price to pay,” said Polis, D-Boulder. Polis voted for ObamaCare. He follows other supporters who have had a sudden change of heart: “If the problems are intense as they are this morning, then maybe we would have to consider a short delay in terms of the individual mandate,” New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell, told Yahoo News on Wednesday….Pascrell joins Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Sens. Jean Shahaan and Joe Manchin in expressing support for extended enrollment and individual mandate deadlines. Manchin is actually working on legislation to delay the individual mandate. Apparently the White House is considering extending the deadline to get insurance. With the Administration sending that kind of signal, expect many more Democrats to bail out in the coming days.
