The Obama Administration Has Missed 41 out of 82 ObamaCare Deadlines

August 19, 2013

You’ve already heard about some of ObamaCare’s major delays, such as the one year delay of the employer mandate for big business and the delay on out-of-pocket caps.

While those are just some of the high-profile delays, however, a report from the Congressional Research Service – which remained unpublished – paints the whole picture on just how much of a train wreck ObamaCare’s implementation is.

The White House has missed half of the deadlines legally required by ObamaCare.

From Forbes:

“The CRS, Congress’ non-partisan in-house think tank, compiled 82 deadlines that the Affordable Care Act mandates upon the first three years of its own implementation. Remarkably, it turns out that the White House has missed half of the deadlines legally required by the ACA. And some of those deadlines remain unmet to this day…

“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…”

“And, of course, if you follow the Obamacare news, you are aware of the high-profile delays that are not included in the CRS report, such as the delay in Obamacare’s caps on out-of-pocket insurance costs.

“The administration has tried, almost comically, to make the case that the faulty implementation of Obamacare is Republicans’ fault. But blue states that have embraced the law are the ones having the most problems.”

The many failures of the ObamaCare train wreck are becoming increasingly clear as the Obama Administration struggles to implement the laws thousands of rules and regulations. Meanwhile, the American people remain opposed to the law’s big government approach to health care, and House Republicans continue to fight to repeal and replace the law.
