On the recordJune 27, 2013
Last week, on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, we read that the implementation of ObamaCare exchanges is falling behind schedule. According to the GAO, both State and Federal exchanges have major work to complete before the October 1 start of open season. The administration has predicted some ``glitches and bumps.'' Would failure to open the exchanges on time be a bump? Is the fact that some small business exchanges have only a single participant a glitch? Millions of Americans will be required by the Federal Government to purchase insurance on these exchanges, but they're shaping up to be a train wreck. GAO tells us that the 17 States running small business exchanges were late on an average of 44 percent of activities that should have been complete in March. The signals are flashing, the sirens are wailing, but we keep rolling on towards ObamaCare implementation. The only way we can prevent the disaster is by putting a stop to a law that is failing on nearly every count. ____________________
