After eight years of inaction, I think it's fair to say that structuring a replacement is not a very high priority for the GOP.
It is now because Trump promised it.
This is an irrelevant answer. My point is not the current emphasis. My point is that after eight years, the Republicans not having a plan speaks to their priorities. If it were truly important to them, they should have taken some of those eight years to fashion a replacement, one which they claimed to want. That they didn't -- what does that tell you?

I wasn't talking about their absence of a working proposal, I was talking about their complete failure --or was it refusal? -- to put together a potential successive plan. They planned from the start to dismantle the ACA, and never planned any sort of replacement. That should tell you something about their priorities.
Let me know if you need any further assistance putting this paint-by-numbers scenario together. Even Ray Charles could see what's going on.
