ACA Title 1, Sec. 1005 Effective date: “Bad” – Should have used regulation process: This section does what most of the sections in ObamaCare do: they hurry this historical undertaking into action prematurely and with great haste. The problems with the Healthcare.gov website are indicative of the general haste embedded in the Law by democrats making so much of the Law effective on the date of enactment. After personally spending 10 years of my career as a federal bureaucrat and regulator, the over optimistic timelines embedded in the ACA invite problems like the website. I would change this to reflect effective dates that connect more carefully and thoughtfully with the federal regulatory process.
