https://politicalwire.com/2017/01/10/trump-demands-immediate-repeal-obamacare/"SNIP..........
President-elect Donald Trump pressed Republicans to move forward with the immediate repeal of the Affordable Care Act and to replace it very quickly thereafter, saying, We have to get to business. Obamacare has been a catastrophic event, the New York Times reports.
Mr. Trumps position undercuts Republican leaders who want a quick vote to repeal President Obamas signature domestic achievement but who also want to wait as long as two to three years to come up with an alternative That demand is very likely impossible. Republicans in Congress are nowhere close to agreement on a major health bill that would replace President Obamas signature domestic achievement.
Vox: The GOPs realistic options are either to delay the entire repeal process until they have a replacement in mind (which could take months) or else they can do repeal next week and leave Americans eager to find out what, if anything, the terrific alternative theyve been promised turns out to amount to. Trumps alternative idea is totally unworkable.

in 3 years when they have lost the senate and can then put poison pills in it and blame Democrats for its failure.
