This is not a defect with the ACA. This is a defect with government culture....
If three guys can do a good job of it, why weren't they hired?
There're two possibilities:
1: Nobody ever got fired for hiring Big Name Brands like Northrop, SAIC and the like - no matter how poor the service they offered was in actuality. Because the brand still speaks volumes. Hiring three guys in a shed is a risky thing, and people in Government positions hate risk. Because if they hire three guys in a shed, and the thing tanks - well the natural question is 'Why did you hire three guys in a shed?'. When if they hired Northrop to do it, well, they made all the right moves hiring a known quantity that has completed hundreds of government projects in the past... so it must be someone elses fault if it tanks. Some analyst's head rolls at one of the big companies and it all rolls along.
2: Three guys in a shed didn't have the money to buy enough congressmen.
Either one is a cultural failure, and is not something exclusive to one particular administration.
What I find funny however, is that while we might agree on what the problem is - the solutions we'd offer would be entirely different.
