“I prefer decentralization of power. I want power returned to the states and citizens.”

Have you even looked at Trump’s replacement plan? Repeal leaves vast amounts of federal power in place in medical care.

Trump’s plan gives block grants to the states for Medicare, returning some power back to the states.

It empowers the individual with Health Savings Accounts that are better than the previous version. It uses the commerce clause for its actual purpose; stopping the barriers that states put up to hinder competition, in this case, the Insurance industry.

His replacement is less concentrated government than we had before Obamacare.

Where does the constitution give the Feds the power to tax and use that money for health care in the form of block grants to the states? Maybe I’m being too picky, expecting somebody to tell ppl no, that isn’t the job of the government to be involved in healthcare.
