Depends on what the goal was. They were told this was the likely outcome. They lied about everything else. It’s not a stretch to think the goal was to destroy the system to replace it with a government system.
At the very least they had 2 possible outcomes (goals) they liked
1) ACA succeeds and everyone is covered
2) Total disaster and government has to swoop in with single-payer
It was always #2. It was never supposed to work.
