Putting ones finger into a hole in the rapidly flooding waters behind the dike is a short duration fix and doesn't solve the problem.
The real solution is a single payer option, regulation of the healthcare industry and insurance across state lines. Government employees and elected officials shouldn't be the only ones with access to afordable healthcare. Either all Americans should have access to gov/union health plans or everyone on the ACA program. When they see how much it costs I'm sure they'll prefer the former and not the latter.
