I would love to see both parties sit down and come up with something that is actually good, but I don't think that is going to happen. Hopefully they do come up with a reasonable solution.

The Republicans havent done anything good since Eisenhower. They have been actively trying to remove the ACA since it's inception, no way in hell are they going to do the right thing now.
If this stands it not only affects 133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, it affects millions of seniors and disabled on Medicare, it affects over 12 million people who got coverage under Medicaid that wasnt available before, and it will place caps back on employer policies.
This is the Republicans in action. Over 70 times they were unsuccessful through legislation in taking away health coverage from the most vulnerable so they resort to a Bush appointed judge. They are nothing but a party of hate hell bent on making others suffer.
