Trouble is that the WLB was surprised to learn that. Otherwise you are quite correct, Lek.
But, the republicunts are like trying to feed a three year old. They want to eat the candy but not their vegetables. They do not understand that you can't keep the good stuff from the Affordable Care Act without the bad stuff that paid for it.

How many years have the Republicans had to put together a replacement?
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. Also, Obama would have vetoed it before.

They did not expect to win. They were therefore free to spend the last 8 years jumping up and down screaming like two-year olds having a tantrum and they expected the next 4 years to be the same.
Once it struck them that they won (4 months ago) then they realized that if they passed an ACA Repeal it would be signed and people would blame them. All of a sudden their hot shit turned cold. and we see that these dumb fucks don't have a clue what they are doing.

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.

They voted to repeal it 60 times. They did not vote to replace it even once.
The big tax cut that Trumpcare includes for wealthy motherfuckers tells me everything I need to know about their "priorities."

The worst thing is that they had a plan of their own, until they gutted it when Obama tried to push it through. What kind of idiot runs the Republirtraitor party that they'll cut off their heads to spite their noses?
