Paul Ryan did a similar thing.
The responses were mostly saying keep, do not repeal it.
However, if the republicans are looking for something to replace the ACA with, I think the Democrats should help them out, and speaks with one united strong voice and tell them if they get rid of the ACA, then
REPLACE IT WITH MEDICARE FOR ALL!!!
That should be the Democrats solution if the republicans want to repeal the ACA, and take it to the people
