The ACA isn't going anywhere. Hell, even if the Republicans were to win total control over the next 3 years, the ACA will not be repealed. It is here to stay.

What's going to happen is that it will continue to be constantly changed to address it's problems and failures, until it basically mirrors a single-payer system.

Like I tell all my Republican family and friends, accept and embrace the ACA.
