So we are in interesting times. It seems that Obamacare could really be an epic policy disaster and it has the Democratic party scared to death. Myself, while it does seem this way, I don't think anyone will know for sure until if/when the website gets working and then next year, when people with employment-based health insurance start getting kicked off of their policies and forced to buy new policies.
I was rather shocked that President Obama said that they did not realize how difficult purchasing health insurance online was. This is the kind of thing that conservatives and libertarians have been yelling about since the legislation was proposed, i.e., that no one can predict exactly how such a massive and complex piece of legislation such as this will perform.
I am hoping that this helps the GOP in the 2014 elections, but time will tell. And in the 2016 Presidential elections.
