Well you better hope someone figures it out. The Dems are determined to ride Obamacare straight into the ground to protect Obama's legacy and the republicans are too afraid to touch it despite all their talk.
Edit: now that I think about it, that's all this is about. Dems want to protect the Obama legacy at all costs, and the republicans are sitting on the sidelines because they don't want to get the blame for destroying/ dismantling the legacy of the first black president.
This is what really bothers me. Blame the tea party obstructionists or us anti-Trump obstructionists, it doesn't really matter. The problem comes down to party over country, and ideology over pragmatism.
I doubt any one politician has the answer to this issue. People are going to have to suck it up and work with the other side. Unfortunately, they've (both sides) spent the past 20 years portraying that other side as evil, unpatriotic and stupid. They've won elections that way and they're scared to do what's right due to optics, i.e. election consequences.

There are a lot of people that care more about their rising premiums than Rands ideological purity
I'm glad the bill failed because for me personally I just want to see it repealed but I find his opposition self serving and vain
ETA: also he's going to be an obstructionist when or if they have good legislation on the table. I honestly think if he were the deciding vote on a straight repeal he'd vote no.

Neither side has any common ground to work together to solve this issue. The AFA needs to be completely repealed and replaced with something that actually helps the consumer and significantly lowers costs and returns insurance to actually being insurance. The Dems will not under any circumstances go along with repealing any part of Obamacare. It's the only legacy that Obama has left. So that leaves republicans with the narrowest of margins to repeal it, but political cowards in the party are holding everyone by the balls
