Because of course it isn’t.
In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said delaying Obamacare implementation is not an option.
Why not? Cancer.
Sebelius: "Delaying the Affordable Care Act wouldn't delay people's cancer or diabetes or Parkinson's."

Sebelius on ppl who say ACA implementation should be delayed: That wouldn't delay people's cancer, diabetes, prenatal services, etc.

What about people like stage IV gallbladder cancer survivor Edie Littlefield Sundby who can’t keep the doctors who saved her life thanks to Obamacare?

The administration is too busy smearing Ms. Sundby to worry about how Obamacare implementation is interfering with her cancer treatment.

Shorter Sebelius: delaying ACA will *KILL* people. Canceled cancer patient Edie Sundby is unavailable for comment.

We know the feeling:
The lady sitting in front me at this hearing looks like she may stroke out, or laugh out loud, every time @sebelius starts talking.

So, no delay. Forward!
