COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Some thoughts as the first year of PPACA enrollment winds down…
With HealthCare.gov stumbling briefly (again) on deadline day, and with the administration so close to its goal, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see another eleventh hour delay. But you should take that with a grain (or three) of salt since I've been wrong about every other delay (or non-delay) so far. Course, I've been basing all my decisions on common sense rather than political theater…
That being said, despite more technical glitches than my new Xbox, nearly 40 of those delays and half the states not supporting it (or actively fighting against it) the administration can probably safely call this first year a success — whether we like it or not. Sure, they've bent (or rewritten) every rule along the way, but it's clear there was a market need not being filled. For whatever reason, this market was simply underserved. Not that the Feds — or we as taxpayers — can afford it, but that's another story.
