Ok. One idea doesn’t cancel the other. Best can still be better. - Volnelk Feb 17, 13:25 11

        The ACA barely squeaked through as is. I think he got all he could with that current batch of legislators. - Bacon Feb 17, 14:48
      - Exactly!! 100% right!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 14:27
  - Aha. I see. I had my guard up for some reason. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 17, 13:28 1
