7. Think I agree. As I understand it, but definitely could be wrong, sounds like Dems get to craft the ACA subsidy bill

Question is— Do we go all out with everything we want for healthcare, or go for something that GOPers won’t label a “non-starter?” While I’d love comprehensive reform, I’m betting something simple that maintains subsidies is the winning approach.

But I’m sure many will comment “negotiating 101 says go high and compromise.” IMO, we’ll lose in December. Now going for the big enchilada as midterms approach, that’s a different matter. Go for it, just remember, we have to get some GOPer support.
