*sigh* You can’t throw 9 women in a room and make a baby in a month. (Old saying at my former employer) But they will try....until the finally realize that this monstrosity can’t be fixed this way. I wonder which of them will tell the Pres the emperor has no clothes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks's_law

Brooks's law is a principle in software development which says that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later".[1] It was coined by Fred Brooks in his 1975 book The Mythical Man-Month. The corollary of Brooks's Law is that there is an incremental person who, when added to a project, makes it take more, not less time. Brooks adds that "Nine women can't make a baby in one month".

Actually if you put 9 women in a room and stagger their pregnancies, nine months down the road you could start having a baby a month. And that’s probably what will happen with obamacare. They’ll stagger it into the future.
