Washington Post (November 3)
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, is beginning its third year “amid fierce criticism from the law’s detractors.” The ACA has, in some regards, performed better than expected, though weaknesses remain. “Instead of wasting more time on repealing the law or important individual components, such as the ‘Cadillac tax,’ Congress should be looking at changes that would help the ACA finish the phasing in process.”

“The rollout of Obamacare later this year is likely to bring a rate shock for many Americans who will buy health insurance from state marketplaces known as exchanges.” How much of a shock remains unknown as many implementation deadlines have been missed. Whether the rollout is a complete train wreck remains to be seen, but “this is not going to be a smooth ride.”
