You are right about the tax code but the big difference is that Obamacare will end up killing people. IMO, the tax code will be simplified and Obamacare will either be dumped or changed to the point that it isn't recognizable from its current form.

Most of the tax code ends up in one of two positions relative to taxpayers ~ First, a few simple sections that apply to vast numbers of taxpayers ~ or ~ a large number of very complex sections, each of which applies to only a few taxpayers.

You could say it's bifurcated.

Sure, it's got a lot of cr*p in it but the overwhelming majority of taxpayers are never affected by much of it, and those who are affected by the more obscure parts know all about it and have their tax layers on the case 24/7.

ObamaKKKare is a tad different. First of all, it has a large number of very complex sections that apply to everybody, and a few relatively simple sections that apply to a favored few.

At this moment there are NO EXPERTS in ObamaKKKare ~ not in the agencies, not in the private sector, not among lawyers, not among its victims.

We are in a transition period where people are finding out what all the nonsense in the bill is about. For example, the Kaiser-Permanente group(s) imagined they could keep up with all this, but internally all of their specialists are running for the specialty areas and abandoning general practice. Used to be (like in December) Kaiser could make it all work together because their specialists all carried an extra burden of general practice ~ handy for patients/customers, and handy for doctors bored with their specialty.

Under ObamaKKKare it's not worth the hassle for Kaiser docs to try to keep up with that sort of practice ~ so they aren't ~ right now I"m looking through a list for a doctor whose native language is English. Looking grim.

I hope you are right but fear you are wrong.

Then entire culture of the DC beltway feeds on complex law and regulation.

Didn’t they hire 15,000 highly paid IRS agents just to administer Obamacare?
