The fact that the ACA was passed by a margin of one vote is some evidence that, in the face of raging blind opposition, they didn't leave anything on the table. If congress weren't in thrall to gerrymandered hyperpartisanism and effectively unlimited donor money, the law would have had at least some bipartisan support, been revised numerous times, had bad parts improved, good parts enhanced, and concerns of both parties and various constituencies addressed in light of the empirical evidence gathered over the last seven years. I don't think there will be a return to the previous system. Instead, for several million Americans, they'll try to demolish the first four floors of a building and disingenuously point to the doctor's office on the fifth.
