They're trying to delay the mandate a year, not the rest of the ACA?

Why? Because it would create an adverse selection death-spiral

The sick would still sign up in droves, but the healthy wouldn't. That would massively screw up the exchanges, allowing the Republicans to "prove" the ACA is a terrible idea that won't work.
