17. You have your view of the future and I have mine. The ACA is a platform that will enable us

to build upon and improve.

Like I said earlier. I'm an optimist and I trust the President and the Dept. of Health and Human services to make care more accessible for all Americans. It's one of the many reasons why I cast my vote for President Obama.

Do you think this is the end of the line for the HC law - one and done? It isn't carved in stone.
