The law survived a series of legal and political challenges during its implementation, but they came at a cost to its initial ambitions.

Working in American health-care policy imparts a keen sense of déjà vu. The conditions that plague our health-care system today not only have deep pre-existing roots, but have been accurately diagnosed before. But diagnosis does not ensure effective treatment.
