Obama Regime Misses Obamacare Deadlines

Now, this could be an interesting story...if Republicans weren't fighting Obamacare every inch of the way. Could all these late things be because of the barriers put in place by Republicans? (Not that I'm complaining...I'm just wondering...)
RUSH: From the Washington Times: "The Obama administration has failed to meet more than half of the new health care law's deadlines, from submitting plans for new, value-based Medicare purchasing programs to publishing criteria for determining the medically [undeserved]" Uh, "underserved." Of course that's a faux pas. I might have been more right when I had it wrong. "Value-based Medicare purchasing programs to publishing criteria for determining the medically [undeserved]. A report requested by Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, indicates that the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies missed 18 of 30 deadlines since the Affordable Care Act was passed in March 2010.

"In one instance, a National Healthcare Workforce Commission created by the law was appointed but has not been funded and has not submitted two reports that were due on April 1 and Oct. 1. In another example, the comptroller general didn't submit to Congress a report on seniors' access to vaccines that was due on June 1. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) searched only publicly available sources to determine whether the deadline had been met and indicated 'no public information located.'" So nothing was found. So the regime has missed over half of its own health care deadlines. That would be deadlines that they set. That doesn't bode well if a Supreme Court justice and the regime can't even implement its own plan, if it can't even meet its own deadlines!
