We can just go quietly away, in which case the voting public is once again perceived as a pushover, or we can push back. At some point even elected officials can recognize endangered votes. Certainly something to think about.

Demand that Congress and the President do something about preexisting condition exclusions,waiting periods and limitations on health insurance policies, if they do nothing else. Virtually everyone with a disability has what insurers regard as a preexisting condition, i.e., something they have seen a doctor about or taken medication for during the past year. Limiting coverage for these conditions keeps people with disabilities out of the labor force. Don’t scrap it.

At this point the best we can hope for is a middle of the road compromise. Have you ever stood in the middle of the road? The only thing that goes on there is people getting run over. Start over!

I can't see patching up the existing "mess" and walking away (rolling away in my case) with anything useful. The likeliness of this acting as a foundation for future refinement doesn't hold up. Congress has never been able to refine and tweak existing legislation on the grand scale that would be needed here. If you're looking at this as something that may be of benefit to your grandchildren then the building block concept might work. If you want to solve some today healthcare issues then no way.
