Both parties are at least giving lip service to the need to shore up ObamaCare.

The current Medicare-For-All is a sweeping bill, and is the likely starting point for whatever reforms we next manage to pass. It seems likely to me too that if it gets anywhere, it will be with a public option and only add more people to the Medicare rolls rather than everybody.

And a lot of Republican amendments to make sure it at least partly sucks.
