I keep saying this on every Obamacare thread:

"Replacement" is a Democrat trap. It is designed to keep the foundations of Obamacare in place, while giving Republicans an out that they "repealed" the law.

Then, Dims are going to run against "Trumpcare", Republicans will get blamed for Obamacare, and the clarion call will go out for universal, gov't controlled healthcare.

Here's what the Republicans need to do:

(1) Completely repeal Obamacare, every last rotten sentence of it.

(2) Those who lost their insurance plans thanks to Obamacare, or who lost their plans when on Obamacare, should be eligible to enroll into their state Medicaid or health-care program, funded by a one-time block grant.

Wait a year, let the market catch up again.

THEN you tackle health-care reform in 2018. Let insurers compete across state lines. Turn Medicaid and Medicare completely over the states. Give veterans vouchers so they can attend any hospital of their choice. Make HSAs, monthly insurance premiums, and deductibles completely tax-free up to $5,000.00 annually. Create another tax-credit for charitable contributions to charities for those who can't afford healthcare.

You are correct, and the SAME DAY plan does not let the executive branch (The Donald) time to evaluate and provide inputs.

We did fine for 200+ years without it ...

with lower premiums.
