Chuck Todd: All of the ObamaCare Delays and Adjustments Are ‘Remarkable’

‘I’m starting to wonder if anybody is ever going to pay the penalty in the first year’

TODD: “You know, if you put together all the different ways that they have delayed or grandfathered certain things in, it is sort of remarkable. Because in the last, I would say three months, all of the different delays and rules that the Administration has made for this one year, exceptions in the various ways add up to the point you just made earlier – add up to what some -- granted some Republicans were trying to call for a delay because they not so secretly wanted to kill the law. They weren't delaying it because they wanted the law to work; they were calling for a delay in order to find more political time to kill it. But in essence, what they are doing is the Administration is agreeing to delay so many parts of this law. I don't think -- I’m starting to wonder if anybody is ever going to pay the penalty in the first year. Is there going to be a single person that is going to be responsible for paying that $95?  At this point it doesn't look like it.”
