As long as Democrats feel they can save Obamacare they will not work in good faith.
 
"The chances of either party being able to craft something that would get enough votes seem remote".

That is the problem it shouldn't be up to one party to craft something, it should be the equal sharing of idea to address the issues from members of both parties. I do not want to live under a healthcare system designed that meet the needs of individuals of just one party and says to hell with the needs and wants of the members of the other party. That is exactly what Obamacare did and it is why it has caused this chaos and anger.
