That's quite a piece of work by Dickman et. al., Admin. I thought it might be helpful to post a link which I believe to be http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2014/01/30...l-impacts/.
With Kathleen Sebelius' resignation unfortunately the media continues to cite the "disastrous" rollout start of the ACA rather than focus on what has been, in total, a very successful rollout. With our national mean attention span of about 30 minutes I suspect those who predicted the implosion of the American health care system into a death spiral will experience the same public humiliation given those stating Sadam had chemical weapons with an active nuclear program and those (many of the same) who stated Obama's policies were going to nationalize the American auto industry and drive our economy into depression.
Of course some people's beliefs are driven by cause and effect, others' only by faith. An independent Texas might make a good home for the latter.
