> The Republicans never brought forward any proposals for improvement but voted 40 times or so for repealing Obamacare. I don't think they have any plans other than letting the market fix itself and if you can't afford healthcare you just have to do without.

So they have a bunch of incompatible plans? When do they plan on doing all of the negotiation required to settle on one, when ACA is already gone? That's going to be a disaster for the millions of Americans on an ACA plan.

Why didn't they vote for any of these in the last 8 years?

Mostly because the House knew the Senate would not actually back the repeal, but they wanted to look like they were doing something for the folks back home. That's the saber rattling. Now, maybe, they will actually put forth a plan or a few plans. I think multiple approaches, with hopefully Democratic and other party input, should make for a better system.
