Walter, the following are facts, and I've said most of these several times before:

- The President has issued many delays to key parts of the law, where the effects would have otherwise coincided with key mid-term elections.

- The total price tag has more than doubled since the original estimates

- Major insurance players are reporting a significant drop in customers paying premiums

- There are already discussions between the White House and major insurance execs over a bailout next year

- Premiums have already gone up, and most actuaries are consistently projecting two sets of premium increases in less than 12 months.

- Employer mandate kicks in next year (delayed from this year because even the administration knows that over 10 million will lose their current plan).

- Over 1,400 waivers granted to businesses, corporations and labor unions (many are Obama supporters and contributors....thereby creating the phrase, "ObamaCare for thee but not for me")

- Disruption of labor market and downgrading of jobs to part time

- In some states, over half the physicians have stated they can't accept the ACA reimbursement schedules

- A 27 year old can live rent-free in parent's house - no financial obligations - might be employed or might not - and be eligible for subsidies and pay little or nothing for coverage.

"Five years" was never the calculus of this administration.
