Obama Delays Enrollment Until After Election Day, But That Can’t Save Peters From His Support Of Disastrous Law

WASHINGTON – President Obama’s administration is attempting to give Scott Peters an escape route from ObamaCare. They recently announced they are pushing back the enrollment period for ObamaCare one month, until after Election Day. What Peters doesn’t understand is that his support for this failed law is well-documented and consistent.

Democrats like Scott Peters have been trying to run away from ObamaCare since the beginning. Even Nancy Pelosi admitted they’ve acted “politically.” Peters and others are desperate to escape blame for repeatedly supporting a law that raises premiums and cancels plans.

“President Obama can keep delaying the enrollment date to try and save Scott Peters, but it won’t help.” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “Peters has consistently supported this disastrous law that raises premiums and cancels plans. Scott Peters can run, but he cannot hide.”

President Obama Delayed The Law’s Enrollment Period Until After Election Day 2014. “The enrollment period, previously scheduled to begin Oct. 15, 2014, will now start Nov. 15, said an official with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services who asked not to be identified because the decision isn’t public. The change is important to insurers that need more time to evaluate the first year of the government-run marketplaces.” (Alex Wayne and Alex Nussbaum, “Insurers to Get Extra Month to Set 2015 Obamacare Rates,” Bloomberg, 11/22/13)
