One key part of ACA is definitely up for grabs. If the Democrats win in the next election there will be a "public option" on the menu for sure. This modest seeming feature of the original Democratic plan is where the revolutionary dynamite is stored.
What the public option is and how it works is all laid out and the change can be made in a matter of days. Once in place, the GOP claim that for-profit corporations can deliver more for less than a governmnet-run insurance plan will up for an open test before the entire nation. If those who believe that a public insurance company can provide better coverage for less money are correct, the USA will move to Medicare for All on a voluntary, one-policy-at-a-time basis. What could be farier than that?
