The important thing to note about the Republican bills is that they are not designed to make Obamacare better. They are designed to make it and the prospects of private comprehensive health insurance worse. The Republican ideal has always been Catastrophic Insurance supplemented by Health Savings Accounts. The problem is that there are gaps between the two if you really get sick. While these gaps could be filled with the Medical Line of Credit (which would also fund abortion services), the vast majority of Americans don't want to use their health insurance as just another investment vehicle. They want full coverage when they get sick because health care is not a normal good.
