Twenty to fifty years from now historians are going to reference the ACA as a case study of early 21st century American government: 1) hyper partisan political process 2) special interest control of the content of laws 3) release of information by the government used as a method to manage the electorate rather than inform 4) front loaded benefits with back-ended payments 5) political class taking credit for the good stuff and leaving if for others to clean up the mess Generally speaking, all aspects of American government in this place and time are reflected in the ACA. All aspects share the same sustainability issues.
