White House: Decision to Delay Obamacare Enrollment Until After The Election Was Not Political

The White House is making an astonishing claim that the decision to delay the enrollment period for Obamacare until after the election was not political.

During the White House Press Briefing today, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl questioned the administration’s decision, pointing out that people shopping for health care would be unable to see premium hikes until after the election.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest insisted that the decision was likely reached by “something other than politics,” and said the date was selected by the “experts” at the Department of Health and Human Services.
