I sure wish the Democrats would stop patting themselves on the back, and the Republicans stop yelling about repealing the whole Act, and get together to design changes to some obviously weak and ill-conceived parts of the legislation.
Of course, what will stand in the way of that will be the partisan hatred each party has for the other. And more importantly, the lobbyists for various clients who want lots of the individual parts kept intact, even though they may weaken and make more expensive the bill as a whole.
