Granted, there is that risk. But against that risk there are other factors to consider.
First, the Democrats were not held accountable in 2012, although it must be conceded that virtually nothing at been implemented by the time of that election.
Second, even if the implementation of Obamacare begins immediately and proves to be bureaucratic, expensive, and arbitrary, those things only change votes inasmuch is they change voters perceptions and that means they must experience bad treatment at the hands of law. Many will not necessarily have bad experiences because they won't be sick. Others will be treated okay. The system probably will have glitches getting started but the public might be conditioned to expect that. It is only after 50 years in England that we see their system breaking down completely.
Finally, there is Nathan Bedford's second Maxim to consider: failed socialism invariably begets more socialism. In other words, in this case the failure of Obamacare will lead not to a restoration of a market system but to a one-payer system or out right socialized medicine. The media is more likely to back the latter than the former. As Mark Levin says, Obamacare is a Trojan horse which when insinuated into our society will destroy it. The risk is simply too great to permit it inside the walls of a civil society.
