Sen. Max Baucus compared the Obamacare website to Humpty Dumpty on Friday, signaling that the Montana Democrat might be interested in delaying the penalties in Obamacare if the site doesn’t get fixed.
“If it looks like Humpty Dumpty’s not getting put back better together, then maybe we should look at — start thinking about — delaying the penalties,” he said in a phone interview with Montana radio station KYYA-AM. “It’s not right to penalize people for mistakes that the government’s made because the exchanges aren’t working.”
