Be impossible. After weeks of glitches, failures, the pressure ramped up yesterday when a handful of Democratic Senators began drafting a bill to delay the heart of the act, individual mandate, gives individuals time to sign up for coverage before penalties kick you in but does not come without political cost. The white house is pushing back on delay. In theory, individuals must have started the application process by february 15th. Open enrollment ends on march 31st. It is now syncing deadlines, deadline is still march 31st but penalties will not occur until after that date. White house officials tell nbc news the date was simply a slide to the deadline and a glitch within the law, a distinction without a difference. Last night White House Press secretary pushed back on claims the white house was delaying, nbc is wrong again, earnest tweeted, individual mandate hasnt changed. Deadline for having insurance is march 31st. What was true this morning is true tonight. Joining me today spec
