They mislead people on purpose. The architect of Obamacare admitted it:

By the way, you have it backwards with regard to my views about Obama. You think I criticize Obama's performance because I don't like him. It is the opposite. I don't like Obama because he does a poor job. I'm not stubborn with these types of things. For example, there was a woman running for president of my homeowner's association that I did not vote for. I absolutely did not want her to win. She ended up winning and I was very disappointed. I thought she would do a lousy job. Anyway, I ended up being pretty pleased with the job she did. She wasn't prefect but overall she was pretty good. I ended up voting for her in the next election. If someone does a good job, I'm going to give them credit, regardless of whether I voted for them and regardless of whether I had a negative opinion of them going in.
With regards to Obama and the ACA, I agree with you that there were some things that they didn't necessarily lie about. They just didn't foresee some of the things that would happen. But when you have a plan, you are supposed to be able to foresee obvious unintentional consequences. It's not as if the critics didn't predict these things. Most of the negative things that have happened as a result of ACA were not hard to foresee. It was incompetence on Obama's part to be so ignorant about what the consequences of his plan would be.
I agree with you that if you make a sound decision based on good intelligence that you had at the time you made the decision, then I'm not going to criticize you if you end up with a bad result. But with regard to Obama and the ACA, the whole thing was simply not well thought out, not to mention the parts that they intentionally mislead people about.
