Nancy Pelosi: There Will Be No Delay of ObamaCare’s Individual Mandate

‘That is solid policy’

REPORTER: "The administration announced another delay of the employer mandate on ObamaCare -- or the Affordable Care Act. Do you think that opens up wiggle room for Democrats to vote to delay the employee mandate that the employees are now required to but, and if so, why not?"
PELOSI: "No, it is a completely different thing. The president has -- how can we ease this not only into the enforcement of the law, to the improvement of the lives of the American people, and the implementation is what he is addressing in terms of the mandate that is central, that is central to what the law is. And the law is very sound policy. To go to back to our founders once again, they sacrificed it all for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This law, the Affordable Care Act, is about a healthier life, the liberty to pursue your happiness. That is solid policy, and the mandate is central to that."
