Obamacare architect Rockefeller: It's 'beyond comprehension'
Washington Examiner ^ | April 9, 2013

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, one of the towering architects of Obamacare, on Tuesday openly criticized program managers for not moving quickly enough to build the system, warning that if it gets off to a bumpy start it will just get worse.

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn't done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The retiring senator also told Marilyn Tavenner at her Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that Obamacare rivals tax reform in its capacity to confuse Americans.

"I believe that the Affordable Care Act is probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress. Tax reform obviously has been huge too, but up to this point it is just beyond comprehension," said Rockefeller.

“....And the media will sing Obama’s praises forever, amen....”

King Hussein, their first black present, could fall off a skateboard and bust his ass and they would be reporting that he’s the world champion skateboarder. They will not let their messiah fail...no matter what it is. He will go down in their history as the best present that ever lived. You may even live long enough to see the dumbo ears on Mt. Rushmore..LMAO.

There's NO WAY of doing this right to begin with. Even if they do it right the first time (whatever the hell is right by this legislation), it will STILL get worse over time.

Great highlight of intellectual governing methodology. Based on past experience the conservative intuitively recognizes that obamcare won’t work. The progressive wants to come to the same conclusion through trial and error.
