They don’t want an alternative, they want an abolishment so that healthcare can be completely privatized, because that is what would benefit them and profit them and their donors the most.

Part of the answer is that some of the bad policies would be painful to reverse in the short term

My issue with this opinion is it ignores that Republicans have had almost 20 years to develop a plan to fix the issues and have had complete control twice since it’s been implemented. They have had a decade + to figure out how to make new plan and make the transition as painless as possible.
