Democrats need to decide if the ACA is worth fighting for?

If it has problems, then we should try to fix it? Is it worth it?

You are NOT going to jam Single Payer down the Rightwingers throats...that won't happen. The only hope is to give them a taste and calling it something else....then make them demand it themselves! Part of the equation is certain states can (and will) set up their own USP program....one by one the Red States will end up demanding it too...because it just makes sense. Exactly the way they got USP in Canada....one province by one province.

In the USA....getting big change is like eating an elephant....you still have to eat him one bite at a time...
