We can assess whether employer health care benefits are a net positive or a negative independent of PPACA. We can assess PPACA independent of our assessment of any unintended consequences of it.

We can but it doesn't make much sense. Consequences are consequences, intended, anticipated, both or neither. In the end it'll be judged on the net results of quality, cost, and extent of coverage.

When analyzing huge and complicated matters, they have to be broken down to achieve any understanding. Understand the components, understand the relationships among the components, and you have a fighting chance. Mash it all together and there is no chance.

I don't think it's that complicated. But it'll take time. And "the spin" on both sides will be huge. Cost and extent of coverage should just be data... quality is where the games will likely be played. I'm thinking three years and we should have an inkling of how it's going... unless we all die from ObamaCare.
