Personally, I still hope for Wyden-Bennett to pass on a bipartisan basis.

I'm pretty sure you're the only person that even cares about that bill anymore.

It might be worth asking why that is the case.  Wyden-Bennett had bipartisan support in the Senate in 2008, but once Obama and the Democrats started crafting the ACA it was never seen from again.  The blowback the Dems took from healthcare probably would have been smaller if they just owned it and added things like the Medicaid expansion and pre-existing conditions rule (and a public option if they didn't have to appease useless assholes like Joe Lieberman).
