Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement today regarding the Obama Administration’s indefinite postponement of cuidadodesalud.gov, its Spanish-language enrollment website for ObamaCare:
“Hispanics have among the highest uninsured rates in the nation. Yet despite hundreds of millions of dollars devoted to a Spanish-language propaganda campaign, the Spanish-language ObamaCare website hasn’t even been launched.
“It’s not fair to punish anyone for not buying ObamaCare when the website they are supposed to buy it on doesn’t work. That is why I intend to introduce legislation to delay the individual mandate until the GAO certifies that the ObamaCare exchange website has been fixed and fully functional for at least six months.
“I still believe that Obamacare will eventually be repealed and replaced. But at the very least, all should be spared from its tax penalties and having the IRS come after them until all of ObamaCare’s enrollment options are fully functional for at least six months.”
Rubio’s legislation, which will be introduced when the U.S. Senate reconvenes next week, delays the individual mandate until six months after the Government Accountability Office (GAO) certifies the websites and all other sign-up options (phone, mail, fax) are fully functional. Thereafter, it exempts people from paying the mandate fines if they can prove that they tried to sign up but could not because of technical or customer service issues.
Washington, D.C. – El senador Marco Rubio (R-FL) publicó hoy la siguiente declaración sobre el aplazamiento indefinido por la Administración de Obama de cuidadodesalud.gov, su página web de inscripción en español para ObamaCare:
“Los hispanos tienen una de las tasas más altas de personas sin seguro de salud en la nación. Sin embargo, a pesar de cientos de millones de dólares dedicados a una campaña de propaganda en español, el sitio web de ObamaCare en español aún no ha sido lanzado.
“No es justo castigar a las personas por no comprar ObamaCare cuando el sitio web en el cual se supone que lo compren no trabaja. Es por eso que presentaré un proyecto de ley para retrasar el mandato individual hasta que el GAO certifique que los sitios web de ObamaCare estén en funcionamiento completo durante al menos seis meses.
“Todavía creo que ObamaCare eventualmente será derogado y sustituido. Pero por ahora, todos deben ser excusados de sus multas de impuestos y de que el IRS los persiga, mientras que todas las opciones de inscripción del ObamaCare estén en funcionamiento completo durante al menos seis meses”.
El proyecto de ley de Rubio será presentado cuando el Senado estadounidense se reúna nuevamente la próxima semana. El proyecto retrasaría el mandato individual bajo ObamaCare hasta seis meses después de que el “Government Accountability Office (GAO)” certifique los sitios web y todas las demás opciones de inscripción (teléfono, correo electrónico, fax) sean completamente funcionales. A partir de entonces, exime a la personas de pagar las multas del mandato si pueden demostrar que intentaron inscribirse pero no pudieron debido a problemas de atención al cliente o técnicos.
