Hawk,
that's not a justified accusation. This debate has been going on for years now. The solutions are not mysterious. They are simply an amalgam of things that have been discussed for a very long time. In addition, the only thing that has passed is the House version. They will still need to debate the Senate version and they are saying that will not likely move forward in the Senate until the fall. So there is plenty of time for both parties to examine the bill, suggest improvements, or decide that it is "a pile of shit" and discard it.

The best thing the GOP can do now is decide whether they want to modify it or oppose it. If they oppose it, then they should put on a major campaign to talk about specific provisions that they don't like and what the impact will be. Plenty of time for that, before the Senate votes. From everything I see, the Dems are going to need a few GOP votes to get this thing passed, so there's a real chance to get this thing killed or modified substantially before it comes to a vote.
