[Opinion]
Aug. 26, 2013
"Oct. 1 is a completely arbitrary date, one that never shows up in the text of the [ACA] and that has little bearing on the health law's success or failure.... [It has become] increasingly clear that [the state marketplaces'] big day isn't necessarily Oct. 1. Instead, it's Jan. 1, the day that the individual mandate takes effect and any plans purchased on the marketplace actually kick in. The space between October and December is viewed, by many standing up the health care law, as as soft launch: the time to make their new Web sites live, sort out the kinks and get the site in prime condition for the beginning of 2014."
