I think they have several competing and inconsistent ideas.Wait, They've been saying they had a plan for 6 years and now then the spotlight is on they have nothing? Who's surprised by this?

FYI... hospitals still have to do this amount of paperwork with Obamacare. And the turn around time is twice as slow.Yes

Yes, Let's go back to having policies declined/canceled and claims denied and endless fights with the big insurance companies. Doctors will have to go back to having a staff of a dozen people just to handle all the bullshit the insurance companies heap on them. And if you can't afford the policy, then fuck you, die on the street, nobody cares cuz we have to have our freedom
Exactly......The reason you need mandatory coverage tied to pre-existing conditionsThat was known from the start. Its been two of the biggest problems with the ACA.If you look at the beating that the dems just took, I think you might see that putting the ACA in place was political suicide for them. Without the ACA being forced on people, I think the dems would have controlled Congress, Senate and the oval office come January 21Political suicide! Do it!!Oh, I can't wait for them to repeal O-care before the have something to put immediately in its place. In fact, politically speaking, I want Congress and Trump to do just that.
Problem is that requiring coverage of pre- existing conditions and mandatory coverage are a package deal
Republicans are finding that out
Maybe I should just drop all my coverage and just buy it when I get sick.

My heart condition or cancer returns.......I just rush down and sign up for insurance
And even then, the deal is much too expensive. Democrats found that out on Nov. 8.
In fact, a deal that includes coverage of pre-existing conditions isn't insurance at all. It's a medical-payment plan. The two are almost exact opposites.
And with medical costs in the thousands, or hundreds of thousands, a company that sells a policy that GUARANTEES they will have to pay out that much, has to sell it for a lot of money. They'll have to or they'll run out of money. And no amount of liberal snarling "They're greedy and heartless and I'm sure they can afford it" will change that fact.
The liberals are trying to sell such insanely expensive policies, and trying to disguise how much people will have to pay. But their disguises stopped working when people started getting the bill, and they got voted out of every majority in the country on Nov. 8.
HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell cautioned that insurers are “continuing to adapt” to a market that looks very different from before “Obamacare,” one in which they are trying to compete for costumers “based on price and quality” and not necessarily by “finding the healthiest customers.”
Premiums are also affected by efforts to undermine the health care law, she said in a statement Monday, including certain states’ decisions not to expand Medicaid and actions taken by a Republican-led Congress to block funding for the law. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/health-care-premiums-rising-obamacare/story?id=43047190
Yea you said that alreadyElections have consequences.
And trying to force people into hugely expensive policies that no one wants to pay for, has consequences too. Often seen during elections.
Still, the financial help isn't enough for some. "Even with the subsidies, some people simply won't be able to manage to pay their health insurance premiums consistently with all the other costs facing them," said Janet Varon, executive director of the Northwest Health Law Advocates in Seattle which works on health access issues.
The authors of the ACA anticipated this problem. To address it, the law allows states to create a separate insurance program, called the Basic Health Program, for people who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid and too little to afford insurance on the state exchanges, even with federal aid. Under such a plan, the federal government will give the subsidies directly to the states, instead of to individuals and families. The states are supposed to pool the money and then use the financial leverage to push insurers to offer less expensive coverage.FINANCIAL LEVERAGE

Actually isn't it more about we want all those young healthy people who don't have, and likely will not have, preexisting conditions paying into the insurance pool to provide enough revenue to let insurance companies cover the folks with pre-existing conditions at the same price as the rest of us?Exactly......The reason you need mandatory coverage tied to pre-existing conditionsThat was known from the start.

Exactly! WTF have they been doing all this time? They should have had a plan on the table a few years ago. But nothing! Just "repeal!" And their trained seal constituents clap their flappers.
