With Deadline Near, Health Signups Show Disparity

With the first open enrollment period set to end Monday, the Affordable Care Act looks less like a sweeping federal overhaul than a collection of individual ventures playing out unevenly, state to state, in the laboratories of democracy.

It is a hot mess.  The law is so flawed that the administration keeps making up changes to it without consulting Congress because it knows these changes might lead to other changes they would not like.  But in doing so it locks the responsibility for the hot mess on the Democrats and they should pay a heavy price for it in the coming elections.
