No Avoidance in Delay

Published July 3, 2013 12:00am ET



The Obama administration has announced that it’s delaying Obamacare’s employer mandate—but not the individual mandate. The Obama administration’s solicitude for big business apparently doesn’t extend to workers and families and individuals.

So: Shouldn’t House and Senate Republicans move next week to delay the individual mandate as well? Will Democrats stand up on the floor of Congress to defend the proposition that businesses deserve relief, but not people? I doubt it. You could see a real rout on the floor of the House—and then the Senate.
