Anything short of "clean extension of subsidies" will fuck healthcare for a majority of the country.
Likely permanently.
Right now the Republicans are playing the role of the kid that had 6 weeks to do a paper and instead decided to play around and then cram all the "writing" (copy and paste) into the weekend before it is due.

Millions will die under any healthcare plan currently proposed by the Republicans but hey no more shutdown.
