Sen. Tom Harkin, one of the coauthors of ObamaDEATHcare Says It Was A Mistake To Pass The Law, “Complex And Convoluted”
ObamaCare author: Health law is 'really complicated'
Sen. Tom Harkin, one of the coauthors of the Affordable Care Act, now thinks Democrats may have been better off not passing it at all and holding out for a better bill.
The Iowa Democrat who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, laments the complexity of legislation the Senate passed five years ago.
He wonders in hindsight whether the law was made overly complicated to satisfy the political concerns of a few Democratic centrists who have since left Congress.
“We had the power to do it in a way that would have simplified healthcare, made it more efficient and made it less costly and we didn’t do it,” Harkin told The Hill. “So I look back and say we should have either done it the correct way or not done anything at all.
“What we did is we muddle through and we got a system that is complex, convoluted, needs probably some corrections and still rewards the insurance companies extensively,” he added.

Him, Scumner, and others are saying that now but when it passed, they were blowing their horns and patting each other on the back. They put the screws to the American People and now are trying to backpedal.
This only goes to show you how inept they are. They should have demanded the bill be studied first before voting on it. Worthless jerks.
