The Obama Administration has missed 41 of 82 legally imposed implementation deadlines, according to a confidential Congressional Research Service memo.
As of May 31, 2013, when the CRS analysis was completed, the White House had yet to meet 9 of 12 deadlines from the first year after the Affordable Care Act was enacted. It failed to meet 22 of 53 deadlines in the second year; another 8 became moot after Congress did not appropriate funds to complete the assigned tasks. In year three, the administration missed 10 out of 17 deadlines. That’s a total of 41 out of 82 deadlines missed.
If you exclude the 9 deadlines that became moot because Congress never appropriated the funds to meet them, the Obama administration missed 41 out of 73 deadlines, or 56 percent.

i thought i had seen you stoop low before,
but claiming this as a polictical point scoring exercise,
as people are suffering is inhuman
some people just want to watch the world burn i guess,
as long as it benifits THEIR idols

That's absurd. Show us exactly where the OP did any of that.
He stated the facts that Obamacare has missed half the legal deadlines.
(which is against the law). Those are facts.
BTW .. Obamacare won't 'rescue' anyone.
Well ... except for big pharma and insurance companies ....

you are using the fact that obama care is slow to be enacted to "score political points"
while people are suffering from lack of health care,
there are people suffering, YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS and you only care when you can use the lack of results to score points
you dont even mention the fate of the people who are harmed by this slow roll out.
you did not even mention the people hurt by the slow roll out

I see nothing in this post to indicate xuenchen happy with peoples suffering. Simply pointing out the massive fiasco this ill thought "not a tax" law really is.
Obamacare is a pathetic power grab - financial gift to Big Pharma and the insurance companies. It has nothing to do with alleviating the suffering of anyone.
Stop making yourself cry already, manipulating people through emotion is just insulting.

he did not even mention the effect of this slow roll out on actual people,
he only cares about scoring political points,
not the fate of those who need health care, and are just hanging on

The whole thing needs to be re-thought, and not just the parts they're trying to leave that obliterate the middle class.
What good has the Obama Administration done for the 'weak and sick' ?
I wonder if there isn't another way to look at this. I don't think anyone is happy that people are suffering, and they are. It's not just health insurance, but it's the economy, privacy, our overseas relations, just about everywhere.
I also think everybody would be cheering on any rescue, but isn't the question is this a rescue?
People, organizations, government employees, cities, and entire states are being granted modifications to, or exemptions from, this law. After three years to prepare for it, the government which fought so hard for it is saying it can't possibly work, maybe later, after the next elections.
The latest estimates I've seen indicate that 30 million will still be uncovered after the law is activated. And there will be fewer physicians to treat them. Many are saying that the new requirements will mean that paperwork will consume up to half or 2/3 of their work day, and they want out.
I think the point is that it is becoming more clear that this plan is unworkable, and as soon as we can toss it and start again we can begin a real rescue.
who is suffering Exactly? Im a little lost on this...
the only people i see suffering are the poor who are forced to pay for this dang thing.
