Medical costs for enrollees in the health-care law’s high-risk insurance pools are expected to more than double initial predictions, the Obama administration said Thursday in a report on the new program.

This is how it always goes. Next will come the revelations that service quality will be lower than originally promised.

That's OK. They'll make it up in volume!

Actually the lack of volume is the problem. It is only the people that need it the most that are using it so the average is really high.
Obamacare will continue to have problems because it didn't go far enough. The Catholic church/hospital issue and this issue are both examples of why we need to continue to reform Obamacare into something more like Germany and less like our old system. Obamacare will only make this need more obvious.

Or we could just return the medical system to something resembling a free market.

Resembling? Sure it has.
Remove the bans on re-importing devices and medicines.
Require identical fees regardless of payment method.
Get rid of EMTLA in it's current form. (you can require hospitals to help people, just pay them instantly with fed funds, and then put it back on the patient as a tax lien).
Let pharmacists prescribe non-narcotics again.
Require published price lists for procedures.
Note that the price stuff applies to every other business in the country already. You can't charge 2 people different prices for an oil change because one wrote a check from BofA and the other wrote one from Wachovia. But you can charge a Blue Cross customer a different price than a Aetna customer.
