There are a variety of paths forward on healthcare and we are currently doing it a great disservice on the federal level when choosing between rip it down or leave it as is. I am not assigning blame for that, rather suggesting the current climate stops collaboration.

I don't either. I wasn't assigning blame for that seeming to be the two options, rather saying that those seem to be what the political climate will support since collaboration doesn't seem to be a thing in DC right now.

Dems have historically been willing to collaborate and compromise’ that’s how we ended up with Romneycare redone as Obamacare. What we dislike is poison pill policies, gutting things to cause failure, and undermining intent. That’s not honest partnership.

Yep, just looking at the ACA process vs the repeal/replace process shows how absurd is bothsiderism.

We are looking at this from different angles. I'm treating it like a divorce mediation, where you can blow through your resources arguing about who is the bigger jerk or plan a path forward for your kids that doesn't screw them up.
