Obamacare brings surprises some aren't prepared for.

Here's a Forbes article from Oct. of last year:

"Little Sign Employers Shedding Health Coverage Ahead Of Obamacare"

http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/...obamacare/


The study cited in the article isn't determinative as whether or not the ACA will be of net benefit, but the results of the study do run counter to the proposition that the ACA is making things worse. I think that this kind of question needs at least a few large scale independent studies (not partisan think tank) that all point toward a conclusion one way or the other before we can have reasonable confidence in whatever that conclusion may be.

I would like to say that there are bound to be parts of the ACA that are going to need to be changed - much like was found with Social Security and Medicare when they first started. If every government program that had some "flaws" were deemed to necessarily be expunged from existence rather than changed, the Pentagon would have few, if any, weapons systems at its disposal.

Remember that the blue-dog Democrats were being quite obstructionist in getting a better version of ACA passed. I wonder how many of them are still in office?
