Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) suggested Sunday that delaying elements of President Obama's health care law could help avert the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester.

"Just delay the Medicaid expansions, delay the health care exchanges so they can work with states on waivers, on flexibility," Jindal said on NBC News' "Meet The Press." "You could save tens of billions of dollars there, and you're not even cutting a program that's started yet. Just delay it for a few years."
