A delay would take us through the 2014 election, which largely will be about Obamacare. Should it be scrapped altogether? Can it be amended to work better? And what about damage to the economy — lost jobs, lower hours worked and falling wages?

But the best way to sell the one-year-delay strategy is to point out the unbelievable number of glitches in the Affordable Care Act that will not be easily repaired.

There are the glitches in the online health exchanges for small businesses. There’s the lack of choice for small-business employees. There’s the family glitch affecting spouses and children — up to 500,000 children, according to some estimates.

All these are key selling points for delay. And these are facts, not politics. The actual systemic breakdowns of Obamacare are huge.
