I don't think anyone, except the "stupid" Americans Gruber was counting on to help get Obamacare passed, is surprised. Certainly not Obama. The intention all along is that it would fail. Obama was saying as far back as 2003 that single payer government health care was needed and would require a transitional private sector form--such as Obamacare for instance--before it could be made a reality.
The necessary transition has come, is on its way toward disappearing, and Hillary will work to usher in universal government healthcare.
