On Monday, the Department of
Health and Human Services released a
video touting its latest big promise on Obamacare: The
health law’s exchanges will be ready on time—at least, that is, the
parts that haven't already been delayed.
That’s really all it had to say. The video, which has the forced-fun feel of an intro to a low-budget corporate training video, highlighted a handful of health law deadlines that had already been met, and insisted, yet again, that its insurance exchanges would open for enrollment in October as planned.
The intended message: We’re on schedule. We can make this work.
Talk about lowering the bar for success. As anyone who’s ever worked on a project with an important deadline knows, when someone starts insisting that everything will come in on time, really, trust me, it’s usually because the work isn’t going as planned—especially on project that’s been rife with shoddy management and missed deadlines.
