33. Best bet is to just sit back and ride it all out

The fear is that the dems will help gut the law before it even starts but Obama will never give into the pressure. The man still has over 3 years in office and that is a lot of time to let things play out. Unless he decided to cave now (not likely after 5 years of non-stop pressure to do just that) he stands as a massive roadblock to any alterations to the law for years to come. The law will be given a chance, play out as it should, and it will be good in the end.

Just sit back, grab a drink, and let it all play out. Don't sweat the idea that the ACA will be gutted because a few spineless democrats Feinstein are losing their nerve. In times of trouble, a few members of any political party will run for the hills at the drop of a hat. Best to just let them go through their motions and pay them no mind.
