OP is correct on one point. The Republicans ran on a platform to repeal and replace, and that is exactly what the american people voted then in to do. If Obamacare was so great for insurance companies, they wouldn't be pulling out. What needs to happen is real competition... open up to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. Allow more flexibility in individual coverages. A tall order, I understand, but it has to happen to make this work.
There's alot of things that could be improved with our healthcare. I understand that Dr Ben Carson has pledged to help Trump craft a plan that will work. Assuming that is correct, to me it shows Trump's willingness (and promise) to bring smart people in to fix the problems. You don't hire a computer whiz to fix a care. Don't hire politicians to fix healthcare. Hire a healthcare provider, who understands, to fix healthcare.
I've seen and experienced first hand, socialized medicine, and it's not what many folks believe it to be. My sister, who lives in Germany, has had to deal with their healthcare system, and it can be a shop of horrors.
