It seems like you're focused on the implementation of the ACA here. I used the ACA as an example of secondary consequences. My question of context was because that's literally what you said. I was wondering how context related to my post which I could have been more clear about. You seem to be saying that context is everything no matter the secondary consequences and go so far as to give more context. Many people characterized the ACA as a Trojan horse at the time. Was that it's purpose? That's maybe a more appropriate question to all this - why doesn't congress add purpose to bills? We need measurable benefits to weigh. By sidestepping that part of the process, it's a guessing game - all bills are just a mash of secondary consequences. That's convenient for politicians and political parties but not the people.
