The 1-year delay in the Obamacare individual mandate that Republicans couldn't get in the shutdown is looking like it may be forced upon the Administration by events. Between the problems in the Healthcare.gov rollout and the corresponding low enrollment numbers, it looks like the "death spiral" is a serious concern. It's entirely logical that those who fight through difficulties in enrollment are those who stand most to benefit, either because they are unhealthy/older and thus benefit from "guaranteed issue" or the very poor and thus enrolling under expanded Medicaid.
What is your projection for the individual mandate in light of recent events? And if you think there will be a 1-year delay, when do you think the Administration will "throw in the towel"?
