Yes, the "good" components (prexisting conditions and some additional regulation) could be supplemented with the removal of interstate barriers and tort reform at a minimum. Unfortunately politics have made most believe that the Republicans had no alternative plan or ideas; nothing could be farther from the truth. Unfotunately we'll likely never see a compromise bill at this point. Because the D's had 60 votes they shut out the R's for the last year; it's not likely the R's will play nice now that Obama needs them.
