Obamacare’s dirty dozen implementation failures

Greg R. Lawson Jul 10, 2013

For those pursuing Medicaid expansion, they should consider the many problems already being encountered as the Federal government attempts to roll out various pieces of Obamacare. The Heritage Foundation just ran a blog on the “Dirty Dozen” implementation failures and it should be mandatory reading.

They include the below (click here for the full Heritage blog):

1. The CLASS Act: ABANDONED, THEN REPEALED

2. Exchanges: MISSED DEADLINES

3. HHS mandate: DELAYED; UNDER LEGAL CHALLENGE

4. Small business plan choice: DELAYED

5. Child-only plans: UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

6. Basic health plan: DELAYED

7. High-risk pools: UNDERPERFORMING; FUNDING LOW

8. Early retiree reinsurance: BROKE

9. Waivers: UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

10. Co-ops: DEFUNDED

11. “Employee free choice”: REPEALED

12. Medicaid expansion: REJECTED BY MANY STATES
