Sure it will. Either in 2014 or 2016, the Repubs will lose control of
the house, perhaps lose seats in the senate and of course, not win the
presidency. As soon as the government is in sane hands again, the ACA
will evolve. Nothing is going to be done until the extremist right wing
crazies are voted out of congress.

This gets back to what I said earlier.

"Fixing" this plan will require more revenue or more borrowing and any
party that makes that kind of tax increases is not going to be around
next time.
You will be left with young people paying a lot for insurance they
don't want or paying much higher taxes for the rest of their life.
Neither will be popular. The question is when that reaches the point
that they actually start voting their own best interests and not what
some actor tells them to do..

We're headed for a major societal restructuring in this country, one in
which the lower income and disenfranchised middle income groups move us
towards European socialism because, simply, this no longer is a land of
opportunity for most of those who want to climb up the ladder. Either we
have that restructuring peaceably or rich guys will find their heads on
pikes.

Funny stuff from you Harry. I distinctly recall you calling out as BS
some people's claims that we were moving towards socialism during the
last two elections. Now you admit we are.
