Dan, I think that the GOP Senate is looking into the next year and have worked on a recent bill to fund Labor-Health and Human Services they brought up bipartisan by US Senators, a Democrat (Patty Murray, WA and GOP Roy Blunt , MO that fund  (gasp) the ACA , women's services and it has no silly "rider" inserted in it to stop abortion or gay people from marrying or women working in the senate from wearing short skirts, items that often cause arguments between parties that stall the bill.  The comment from one senator is that this bill would infuriate Ted Cruz and that was a good thing, they are sick of him.
