I do think a lot more of them will leave the exchanges or jack up their prices next year because of all the uncertainty created by the republicans. Would have been nice to have a public option to fall back on.

At least the people on Medicaid will get a reprieve for the time being, which is good. But I have no doubt they'll be coming after that again.
