Since this clunker is the BEST we can do with a Democratic majority in Congress and a Democratic President, the notion that we can improve on it requires not only maintaining those majorities and the Presidency, but for a decisive leftward swing in both those bodies. What are the odds of that? The health insurance industry is going to be pouring millions into lobbying against any improvements, not to mention against enforcing what has been passed. Meanwhile they will be pouring millions into getting industry-friendly Republicans and Conserva-Dems elected.
