Problems with Healthcare.gov are eroding public opinion and congressional support for the Affordable Care Act. An inter-agency Manhattan Project must fix it NOW.
At least six Senate Democrats (giving the GOP a majority) now support revising the law in ways that could lead to its utter collapse.
As Ezra Klein warns: "The bill [Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.) is offering could really harm the law. It would mean millions of people who would've left the individual insurance market and gone to the exchanges will stay right where they are. Assuming those people skew younger, healthier, and richer -- and they do -- Obamacare's premiums will rise. Meanwhile, many people who could've gotten better insurance on the exchanges will stay in bad plans that will leave them bankrupt when they get sick."
