The place the Republicans reveal foolishness or dishonesty is right here:

"But Republicans have long attacked Obamacare, complaining it drives up health care costs."

No, Republicans, wrong.

Next year in the USA there will still be about a million heart attacks. There will still be about four million births. There will still be about a quarter million women diagnosed with breast cancer and close to that number of men diagnosed with colon cancer. 

Which is to say that health care costs are not dependent on what form of insurance a country has. Health care costs are instead determined by need.

And so all the Republicans are doing, on behalf of the insurance companies, is choosing to NOT PAY FOR the costs. People with pre-existing conditions, mentioned above, will again be shunned from the ability to join a large pool that contains low-risk individuals that could keep premiums low. They once again will have 10,000 dollar monthly premiums. And once again will go bankrupt.

Bad move.
