And this is the real basis for your objection to the PPA and this bill. You are not looking at:
1. Whether the PPA has maintained the status quo successfully for 4 years (it has)
2. Whether the proposed bill is a good first step (it is).
3. Whether the proposed bill is good for a majority of U.S. players (it is).
4. Whether the bill(s--Frank and McDermott) creates a framework that incentivizes opting in even in states that opt out first (it does).
Probably lots of other things, too, that you are not considering.
All you are doing is posting your fear that this bill will harm you. This may be true, but it is not a rational argument against the bill.
I, too, live in a state that will opt out of this bill. It sucks for me, but the PPA represents all players, and it is obligated to do what it thinks is best for the majority of players, not folks like you and me who live in states that will opt out.
Our fight is with our state governments who will opt out. our fight is not with the PPA.
