Fox News: Time to hit pause on ObamaCare?

The White House is under intensified pressure to hit pause on the rollout of ObamaCare as evidence mounts that officials knew well ahead of time of major problems in the new health care law and its implementation -- raising questions whether the administration went ahead, nonetheless, for political purposes.

In the Washington Post, Ed Roger admits, "there is a chance ObamaCare could be repealed in a bipartisan vote." And Politico's Todd Purdum isn't fretting about right-wing attacks on ObamaCare these days, but about "ObamaCare's threat to liberalism."
