And I agree, even if they rename it, the framework will remain.
There is no other viable GOP solution or we'd have heard it by now.
Any Proposal needs subsidization to get healthcare for the the Tens of Millions who cannot otherwise afford it, or who have pre-existing.
Obamacare, through mandates, and taxes Cap Gains of high earners 3.9%, etc, pays for these otherwise unaffordable policies.
Trump et al, OTOH wants to lower the top bracket and get rid of the ACA levy.
SO...the GOP can't do more with less. There'll be 'fixes', but they won't be cheaper.
Math Rules.
