1. They can't fully repeal the ACA because they need to use budget reconciliation to do anything without cooperation from 8+ Democrats

2. Fully repealing the ACA would be an unmitigated disaster causing tens of millions of people to lose their insurance, would result in people once again being denied coverage for preexisiting conditions, etc etc.

They can amend the rules to abolish the filibuster. Then, it should be easy to pass an emergency bill banning insurance companies from denying coverage for preexisting conditions, and forcing them to cover children until age 26.

Then we can begin the difficult debate about how best to allocate the costs, and how to lower total costs.
