Who could have predicted that a 2600+ page piece of legislation with so many provisions that no one, not even the ostensible authors, could ever really understand it, would have potential problems?

That's been my problem with ACA all along, it is TOO COMPLEX TO UNDERSTAND THE INTERACTIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS.

And no one really does so it is no surprise that folks are "worried".
