It would leave plenty of things to fight over. There would still be
no shortage of disagreements that we could run elections on. Whether it
be immigration or taxes or minimum wage, there will still be lots of
things we could disagree on, but for as long as I have been in
politics, this issue has just been thrown back and forth, to hurt
Democrats, to hurt Republicans. In the process, we have injected so
much uncertainty into the healthcare system and into the economy at
large, that we make it impossible for private sector reform to take
hold. Hospitals and healthcare providers have been doing really innovative
things since the Affordable Care Act went into effect because they got
a signal from the Federal Government that we wanted them to start
building big coordinated systems of care, that we were going to reward
outcomes rather than volume.
