Marco Calls For Delay On Individual Mandate

◼ Rubio: Delay Obamacare mandate until computer problems are fixed - Marco Rubio/Tampa Bay Times

It's unfair and unacceptable that Obamacare's web developers are getting more time to deliver a functional website, while the American people are being denied an extension that would help them avoid tax penalties and an IRS problem.

While I believe Obamacare needs to be fully repealed and replaced, common sense dictates that our people have some short-term relief and protection now.

This is why I am introducing legislation to delay the individual mandate to buy insurance until the Obamacare exchange websites and all its enrollment processes have been fixed and are certified to be fully functional. Once that certification takes place, Americans will have an additional six months before being subject to taxes and penalties of the individual mandate.
