There is so much uncertainty facing the industry and the states that it is unlikely that the regulations will actually be implemented correctly, if at all, by the stated deadlines..

With all the talk about the looming fiscal cliff, many commentators fail to discuss the “implementation iceberg” of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ObamaCare”). The implementation iceberg refers to the implementation of key provisions of the law that were put off until after the 2012 election, say Paul Howard, director and senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute’s Center for Medical Progress, and Stephen Parente, the Minnesota Insurance Industry Professor of Health Finance in the Carlson School of Management and director of the Medical Industry Leadership Institute at the University of Minnesota.

The massive regulatory impact is likely to be felt by many voters in the coming year and will keep the Obama administration and insurance companies occupied for months on how to implement the law.
