As Affordable Care Act Repeal Teeters, Prospects for Bipartisanship Build
WASHINGTON — With his bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act in deep trouble, Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, raised an alternate possibility on Tuesday evening: Either Republicans come together in the days ahead, or he may have to work with Democrats to shore up the deteriorating health law.
That raised a tantalizing prospect: bipartisanship.
The idea is not that far-fetched. For years, Republicans and Democrats have explored avenues for changing or improving President Barack Obama’s health care law, from modest tweaks like raising the size threshold at which businesses must offer their employees health insurance to larger revisions involving how the marketplaces created under the act operate.
Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee and chairman of the Senate health committee, has said he would like to draft legislation geared toward stabilizing the marketplaces and providing a temporary continuation of subsidies paid to insurance companies to offset out-of-pocket medical expenses.

That would be great but color me skeptical.
