en. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Wednesday he fears a "train wreck" as the Obama administration implements its signature healthcare law.
Baucus, the chairman of the powerful Finance Committee and a key architect of the healthcare law, said he fears people do not understand how the law will work.
"I just see a huge train wreck coming down," Baucus told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a Wednesday hearing. "You and I have discussed this many times, and I don't see any results yet."
"Small businesses have no idea what to do, what to expect," Baucus said.
Citing anecdotal evidence from small businesses in his home state, Baucus asked Sebelius for specifics about how it is measuring public understanding of the law.
"You need data. Do you have any data? You've never given me data. You only give me concepts, frankly," Baucus told Sebelius.

These complaints are coming, hypocritically, from one of the people who created Obamacare. He never raised these issues several years ago, before Obamacare was passed. He waited until after the 2012 election to raise these issues. He has no one but himself to blame for the mess that he created.

No one with a brain can only NOW suspect that the whole “Obamacare” scam is or EVER WAS a workable and rational plan for Health Reform.
How anyone can be surprised at how abjectly ruinous the idea is, is beyond me!

This drunken fool was one of Obamacare’s prime proponents. Fine time to tell us all it’s FUBAR, Baucus.

My guess he is not really concerned; unless it is to distract.

Sen. Max Baucus was the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a chief architect of ObamaCare. Baucus inserted language in the ObamaCare bill to provide services and benefits, including Medicare, for a group of Montana miners exposed to asbestos.
So, Baucus was a chief creator of ObamaCare and now he is suddenly saying it’s a coming trainwreck. Just try to imagine how the corrupt MSM would be screaming if this were a Bush/Republican bill and it was falling apart and destroying the economy along the way.

Pelosi was right. They had to pass the bill to find out what is in it.
That said, this is by design. It is cause and effect. It is reaping what one sows. Overly complicated, poorly designed legislation results in overly complicated, poorly designed law which results in overly complicated, poorly designed bureaucracy which results in overly complicated, poorly designed policy, which results in overly complicated, poorly designed programs.

the law was not MEANT TO work
it was meant to fail, and cripple insurance companies, so that we all end up in single-payer (100% government health care)
