So far all I see are the same old tired non working GOP schemes they always pull out. The GOP forced many of the bad parts of ACA and then bitched about it for the last seven years. In all of that time they didn't come up with a replacement. If you allow exclusion of preexisting conditions then the insurance companies can just skim off the cream leaving sick people uncovered. If you don't have mandates then you just have sick people packing the system and no way to spread the cost among a large pool of people. Poor people living hand to mouth don't have extra money to put in health savings accounts. I say if it's good enough for Grandma it's good enough for the rest of us, put everyone on Medicare and be finished with it.

How did the GOP force the bad parts of ACA? No Republican voted for it.

There is a very good documentary on Frontline that details the process that lead to the ACA. It is archived on PBS. There was lots of GOP input.
