The stupid people shall soon see what they were so excited about implementing..some are already crying the blues..then they will want the republicans to help them get out of obamacare.. My expectation is that this thing was a disaster from day 1: 1) A bunch of attorneys / bureaucrats / politicians redesign 1/6th of the economy. It was basically redesigned to have the young and healthy pay for the sick and aged. 2) Health Care was broken but functioning. The spiraling cost part was never addressed - lets put more folks on a system that is already strained. 3) The Health Care supply was effectively decreased by imposing more regulatory overhead. Where will the new doctors and nurses come from? 4)The demand was increased by adding more users / insured. 5) The cost of the product was increased because of added coverage (existing condition, children covered until age 26, birth control etc.) to say nothing of the added regulatory tax. 6) The website was poorly architected / designed. That was the easy part. after theta comes all the habitual / process change. How is all this data flowing through the system. Is the site secure? 7) Business is incentivized to convert / add part time employees versus fulltime. 8) When you change something this large and complex - at one fell swop the law of unintended consequences will kick in. People and business will alter their procedures , policies, habits in ways not imagined. 9) The web site was the easy part. 10) The government gets metrics out of everything. If nothing else they are one big data collection business. Don't for a minute think they don't know how many folks have signed up, tried to sign up, etc.
