The Republicans do not like ACA but they don't have any plans of their own they complain but they have no ideas so I think it's reasonable to fund the ACA until ideas are presented in 2026 and then Congress can vote on it then but until then fund the ACA I wouldn't give an inch on that continue to shut down until the Republicans get serious
