The idea was right, the execution was so pro-insurance companies it was outlandish the way this was written.

one of the reasons why i don't like obamacare. they're trying to make a for-profit system work, while saying they're wanting to control costs. yeah, good luck with that. obamacare will end up a failure. altho the scotus ruled in favor of the forced purchase, or you get taxed-the tax/penalty isn't high enough to actually make people buy it. so, the exact group (young and healthy) that insurers wanted forced to buy to keep the entire system afloat, probably won't.
then, they said one way to keep costs down was to expand medicaid so as to prevent high priced er visits, etc. but the tool to force that expansion was removed. (by the way, a recent study showed non-insured were no more likely to go to er's for non emergencies than those with coverage, but that didn't get much play). so, states who don't wish to expand, probably won't-thus leaving the poorer without. and actually, obamacare didn't provide 100% coverage anyway. there would still be a sizable group that couldn't get coverage.
take into consideration that big pharma had a big say in obamacare...well, we know who ultimately put it all together. now, to sit back and watch what happens next.
