Even with getting the web site working better there are still so many issues. I fear that staffing is inadequate to handle the work load and later claim processing will not be smooth. This bill is just too big and complex and will probably have a bad rap for years to come because of that. Indeed, there will be pressure from both the right and the left to replace it.

This will be touch and go for several years.
