Unlike the Republican leadership's dream world, in this things have to be paid for. Of course, one person's "tax increase" is another persons "ending subsidy." And costs should be cut from medicare part D. This is the part where if the republican leadership was honest to its proclaimed ideals, they'd get behind. But right now the republican leadership has changed it's tune from repealing the reform to reforming it to keep the "good stuff" in but doing away with taxes and mandates. Apparently, the "fiscally conservative" thing to do is to spend more but tax less.
And there will always be unintended consequences to everything. Thankfully, congress didn't cease to exist, and so they can further amend it if needed.
