Luckily the entities which drafted this legislation and those charged with implementing it had 100% access to everything they needed to determine the complexity of the task ahead. All the private, state, and (especially) federal IT systems involved in health care insurance, payment, and delivery were known in advance. I am sure the administration will not gripe about states making late decisions about implementing various portions of the law when HHS itself has moved deadlines back to permit this very thing.
Opponents of the legislation raised many of the same issues concerning complexity and the inherent difficulties that are now being raised by those who favor the ACA. In that sense, I suppose we can say that the ACA has helped to build a bipartisan concensus, which is a good thing, right? Now, let's trust those who fought for the job of establishing this new system. The legislation has not enjoyed majority support, so those implementing it have a golden opportunity to change some minds.
