Absolutely both. It's a political ploy BECAUSE the ACA was poorly conceived, and the havoc it will cause will hurt the Dems in 2014.

I know this health care system is a mess, but I have a feeling this whole thing is gonna blow up in their faces. I hope it's just the skeptic in me. Because I'm sick and tired of dealing with this racket called big pharmacies and health insurance.

I like Obamacare. It finally does something to help our broken healthcare system. The GOP had 30 years to fix it and as soon as someone actually does it everyone cries socialism! Take a chill pill

My husband is a small business owner and we have been told that a year from now, small businesses won't be able to afford health care for their employees. This is bad for America on so many levels. Think the economy is bad now - just wait!

The ACA could work if it was kept as a Single Payer Plan & we bypassed the Greedy Insurance Companies/Middlemen/skimming B-tards! And stopped the War Machine..There's plenty of $$ to pay for Free Quality Healthcare For All! No Waiting or Lines!

With a delay in the small business healthcare exchange it only makes sense to delay the employer mandate. So I'd say it's closer to unworkable, but only because it's not ready.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language: "I'm from the Government. I'm here to help you." ACA isn't about healthcare; it's about tyranny, power, control. ACA isn't affordable; this most recent delay in implementation only symptom.

If the ACA were a car it would be recalled before it make it off the assembly line. The execution of ACA is just embarrassing for this administration. Hospitals are laying of thousands and company's are firing workers they suddenly cannot afford.

Neither? The questions framing doesn't have a "positive" side. Both answers assume a negative reflection of the ACA. Either it's politics for an election or unworkable are not opposites but answers leading to a bias opinion.

Its both, I'm sure the president has heard from people in his party that might be vulnerable that they really don't need this failure hanging over them at election time. Costs are way to high and if enough young folks don't opt in it will fail.

Both. That's what happens when you don't allow sufficient time to read a bill, especially one as important as mandatory healthcare. This bill has already proven itself "UN"affordable.

I voted "politics" mostly because I don't think the employer mandate is unworkable, but I'm torn because as Tony mentioned, the individual mandate stands, and it's the bigger elephant in the room. Maybe they'll delay that too, closer to the election.

Obama realized that once it takes effect and everybody sees what a disaster it is he would get decimated in the mid terms. This way he doesn't have to clean up his own mess, it's the next guys problem.

The government is incapable of admitting that with each of their social experiments they've failed. The fact is that the cure is worse than the disease!

I find it interesting 80% of Democrats vote politics. To me that says they would rather throw Obama under the bus than criticize Obamacare.

One is the cause (unworkable O'care) and the other is the effect (Just Politics) as (Democrats are scared spit-less that if its implemented, they'll lose in 2014).

It's both. It's unworkable, and because they know that it's unworkable, they're trying desperately to hoodwink the American people about it, so that we won't hand them their asses next year.
Bad news, they're getting their ass handed to them anyways.
