We'll just be spared the sackcloth-and-ashes over it not being single-payer -- which we were never ever ever going to get in the first place since half the country thinks single-payer is a Commie plot.

My biggest concern is that over half the states (35, if I heard right yesterday) have governors who are trying to sabotage it for all they're worth, and there isn't enough money allocated in the plan to educate the public adequately and counter the RW propaganda. If they manage to make it fail, everyone hurt by its failure will blame Obama and the ACA itself. I do worry about that.
