Peter Lee is the Executive Director of Covered California, which is the local ACA website, that works fairly well. So even he has noted that any state interested in funding for 1/6 of any state's employment--can get in on the funding, after all! That, of course, is not so-stated in so many words. It is clearly what is happening in California. The Holy Father can likely be supportive of the more Socialist trend to actually pay for medical services. The Republicans are universally, all opposed!

So how does that make ACA a plausible HeavyWeight problem for GOP, no one seems to be noting?

The real lesson of the rollout, Kamarck said, is that the Department of Health and Human Services broke every rule for managing a big technological project well — and the successful states didn’t.

The three basic rules for launching a successful government tech project, Kamarck said, are to give one person the power and responsibility to supervise the entire project; build and test the technology repeatedly, since everyone knows websites crash; and create an environment where people feel free to give the boss bad news.

“Somehow, every rule of managing technology in government was broken with this website,” said Kamarck, who’s also the founding director of the Brookings Institution’s Center for Effective Public Mangement.

Basically, the Republicans are left with the election-year explanation that, "ACA is not a moon-landing, and the computer people were not employed at NASA!"

Liberals are more long accustomed to the electioneering, "If we can put a man on the moon, then why can't we put a health plan into every family budget? This is the richest nation in the world!" The liberals now can point to differences in competence levels of. . .bureaucrats! The Red States seem to have. . . .not too clear a concept, about how a government is actually run(?)!

The main explanation of the liberal complaint is that (1), Red States Don't Want To Employ Anyone In the Medical Profession, who gets paid, and (2), and then there is the explanation that the federal government needs to apply its own IT successes, to ACA.

Twelve more months is a fairly long time. Gallup Polls seem to be noticing that the Roll-out is only possibly, a possible threat--way later on--than it is right now! When any threat starts to disappear, then the Democrats will be in control in 2015, going forward. That will be after winning in 2014. The "Ah, Ah, Ah!" momentum has already happened. Next comes the, "Ooooh! Yeeeees!" Birth is allowed, under ACA, just like contraception(?), which is probably better(?). . .If in fact economies, are really that lethal(?)!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Los Angeles Aqueduct take water from way up north, send it through San Fernando Valley, then into City of Los Angeles--where even any surplus water was not allowed to be spread around, outside city limits. That made federal sense, only 100 years ago! Now water is taken for granted--even in middle of the desert called, County of Los Angeles. The History of Los Angeles shows the advantage of thinking really big! Otherwise, millions would have nothing to take for granted!)

Whats is and will be the price tag for this web site
 
So far there has not been evidence which somehow proves that the law is working as planned. The president is really having a tough time dealing with that issue. Nobody is quite sure whether this plan will work in long run. If it does I think that the president will be able to effectively make his case to the American people based on the evidence they will have to prove that the plan is working which will be bad news for the GOP. On the other hand, if it does not work the president and his party will be in serious trouble. The problem is that this plan is not like a scandal that after a couple weeks it goes away.

At this point all Americans know is that Barack Obama LIED to them over 40 times on being able to keep the health care insurance of their liking.

IOW--whether or not it works--which is highly unlikely at this point--is irrelevant.

How do you know for certain that this isn't how it was planned to work?
 
In the Mid-November polling, Gallup noted a small spike in Disapproval of ACA, likely associated with the "You Lie" kind of reaction to the insurance industry bad faith. The individual market changes, so the grandfathering didn't work.

The consistency of approval of ACA is 40-44% all the time. That is a core constituency that appears to be unswerving.

Americans' Approval of Healthcare Law Declines

So the ACA support base seems to be larger than the Tea-Party support base. The GOP Tea Party elected reps likely do not harbor overwhelming supporters in their districts. The disapproval ratings easily include the already disapproving Tea Party districts.

People were complaining about Individual Market cancellations in 2010, and then again in 2013. 2010 was long-since forgotten.

ACA is a net loser for GOP. The hits have already happened, and without much dramatic effect.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Maybe Holy Father, of all Argentina, now understand that babies should not come from there(?), if economies are actually humans behaving lethally(?)! Love of White Eyes, stranger than real life(?)!))
 
Of course they are.

Reactionaries to the far right, this is done deal. Now run away.

At this point it's obvious that the president has a massive problem with the plan as a result of the false assurance that he constantly gave the American people with regard to whether they can keep their current plan under his plan. But, at the same time I also think that it's still too early to make a final conclusion that the plan is a disaster. No one is certain about what will happen in the future but, based on the kind of bad results that we are now experiencing with the plan so far some may well predict that the plan is a train wreck which means everything will disintegrate eventually. I would probably wait until 2015 or 2016, so that I can make a final assessment based on the reports that will be coming out to really determine whether this plan is a catastrophic disaster.

How do you know for certain that this isn't how it was planned to work?

I am not quite sure that I understand the question that you ask in your post. Do you mean that Obamacare was intentionally planned to work as it's now working?
