WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 28:  U.S. President Barack Obama talks on the phone in the Oval Office, after learning of the Supreme Court's ruling on the individual mandate of the 'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act' on June 28, 2012 in Washington, D.C. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)

Yesterday afternoon, chief executives of 12 major health insurers—including Aetna, Humana, WellPoint, and Kaiser Permanente—trudged to the White House to “discuss…ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act.” The meeting was off the record, but we have a pretty good idea of what happened. Insurers were likely to urge the White House to delay the implementation of Obamacare’s exchanges until the website, Healthcare.gov, gets fixed. And it appears they got their wish. Last night, the White House confirmed that it intends to delay the enforcement of the individual mandate by as much as six weeks.
