The only reason republicans resist obamacare is because it will cost the insurance companies profits. Why in the world would anyone expect an insurance company to lose a dime of billions in profits just to get medical help for a child? That's why republicans refuse health care reform. Money plain and simple. It also goes a long way to show the republican frame of mind. "If the kid can't afford health care then let them die". That's the republican way.

I would guess by just not funding it's implementation. This my just be code for repealing it altogether though. A measure I fully support.

How do you permanently delay something, that is a contradiction in terms.

The only reason there has been any delay is because of midterm elections. It would be a landslide for republicans once the effects of obamacare are implemented and people realize who forced this on them.

Obamacare has already proven to be beneficial to millions of your fellow Americans. It's only going to keep helping more and more of your fellow Americans every day. It's not going anywhere.

What makes you think it would be a landslide for the republicans? If it would help the republicans win elections, why would they fight the ACA?
Republicans fight the ACA because it might work and their backers are screaming at republicans to kill it.
If they thought it would hurt democrat chances of getting elected, blocking the ACA would be the last thing they would do.
