Tax the rich more.
Use the $$ to lower out-of-pockets. Make the subsidies better (instead of dropping off at $48000, a gradual drop-off to $75000). End the "family glitch." In return, perhaps a small co-pay ($10 - $20) on currently "free" preventive care things.
Someone on CNN suggested Dems and Rs work together on an bill acceptable to both parties. That actually could happen if not for their Child Molester, er, Hastert Rule. The most destructive thing to happen to politics in decades.
