At some point, though, you have to deal with reality. If Obamacare is going to die, it is going to have to die of a thousand cuts. There simply are not the votes in the GOP, right now, to do an entire repeal, and it is questionable whether an entire repeal is even possible under the reconciliation rules.
My advice - get the most conservative bill you can passed, then keep chipping away at Obamacare, especially in 2018 when Republicans SHOULD pick up 6-8 Senate seats.

R-I-G-H-T. Tell me again what the (R) have been able to ‘chip away’ in the times they’ve had a majority/full control?
Seems we still have the DoEd, 40 yrs. of ‘chipping’...wait, no, they’ve given more power/$$ EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
TARP, TPP, NSA, DHS, TSA, NCLB, Par ‘D’ expansion...*MORE* govt from the ‘Party of smaller govt’.
Oh, they passed a full repeal NUMEROUS times in the last 8 yrs. But now...?? BWAhahaha. They can’t even pass a simple “No govt employee shall be exempt from any Law” bill (which would do *wonders* to your theory...IF).
