Of course Republicans have no plan to replace Obamacare with. Obamacare was their plan. The opposed it purely on partisan grounds. The second Obama supported any measure championed by Republicans, it became poison and had to be opposed. Party above policy or country. That is the Republican way.
Sixty percent (60%) think Congress and the president should fix the law a piece at a time.
Per Vox:
When respondents were asked what would happen if Obamacare were repealed, even more people were stumped. Approximately 45 percent did not know that the A.C.A. would be repealed — 12 percent of Americans said the A.C.A. would not be repealed, and 32 percent said they didn’t know.
The pollsters dug into more specific consequences of repeal, too. Among Republicans, only 47 percent knew that the Medicaid expansion and insurance subsidies would be rolled back — 29 percent said Medicaid and the subsidies would be unaffected, and another 24 percent weren’t sure. So fully 53 percent don’t know or don’t believe that repealing Obamacare would repeal its coverage expansion, too.
And while they’re getting the government out of the health insurance business, Republicans should also repeal the law requiring emergency rooms to treat people unless they can guarantee payment.
That way people can die in the streets because they cannot afford medical care.
I don’t want them to replace it. I just want them to repeal a bad law.
If congress can come up with a good alternative – Great. If not, we will still be better off than we are with Obamacare. Except, of course, all those people getting their freebies from the government.
Under Obamacare more people are insured and insurance is going up at 1/2 the rate it was going up under Obamacare. But Republicans are dead set on making America “great” again. And now that everyone has pre-existing conditions, insurance companies can write the laws AND make record profits off of us.

Republicans believe God intends it that way.

The people who have already got that straight away track want to stick you and me with the one that veers off to the right.

Republicans can try to ignore it when their votes start killing their children and grandchildren.
