No - I’m not letting this logic fester or gain traction. Trump and republicans do not want to replace the ACA. That’s a complete and total fantasy. Democrats took decades to get the ACA enacted, so once it’s gone it’s probably gone for decades. If republicans gave a damn they would’ve helped fix what is wrong with the ACA, but they’d rather full repeal with no plan to replace. Listen to what any of them say or do, they wear it as a badge of honor.

I meant after they destroy it and democrats, or whoever, take back power. Obviously Republicans aren't going to replace it with anything good.

They had zero actual plan to replace it with anything last time they took it away, they didn't even really pretend to even have one.
