No.

Leaving the ACA in place as is - not an option. Even the Dems acknowledge that.

"Fixing the ACA" - I don't think its an option, not without pouring billions into it. ACA never attacked the underlying issue of cost of care anyway, so it was as flawed from the outset. I'm also not aware of any credible plans that Dems have put forward to "fix" the ACA. The Dems are right where the Repubs were a couple years ago, without a substantive answer to the question: Where's your plan?

Repealing the ACA - if we believe what we're told, the votes "aren't there". But I'd rather have this fight first, have that vote, and let the chips fall where they may. That would flush out both sides of the argument, and particularly put the Dems in the position of having to defend the ACA, warts and all, and possibly force them to provide a concrete plan with costs for "fixing" the ACA....if they can.

So...what's a shitgibbon?
