Yes and those key things that people want to retain cannot be retained without the individual mandate staying in place. You cannot keep the law unless you improve upon it. The parts people hate because of whatever reason cannot be removed since it would destroy all good things people like, such as the rule against denying insurance to people with illnesses.
It is just laughable that the OP thinks there is a big revolution that is going to bring about single payer, which like the ACA will have to be paid for in some manner. And it shows a deranged mind that would wish sick people be thrown off of insurance during some sort of
insurance-less purgatory period before the second (make that first) coming of single-payer.
If they ditch ACA America will be like it was before with millions not covered. But worse off.
From what I can see it looks like Trump is picking a right-wing cabinet with some pretty reactionary members. I don't see any populists going to the West Wing.
