I would have also added that his inability to rule on the subsidies is helping the demise. The ACA certainly has problems but Trumps actions are certainly helping it along.

What Trump can do Status
Weaken enforcement of the individual mandate In progress
Impose work requirements for Medicaid recipients. In progress
Fail to do advertising or outreach. In progress
Make tax credits for premiums less generous. Proposed
Defund subsidies that help people pay out-of-pocket costs. Not in progress
Redefine essential health benefits. Not in progress
The ACA is a bad law. Let it fail. We need single payer.
Obamacare is like that car that is a lemon. The cost to keep it going far exceeds its value. Cut your loses and Replace it.
I guess you are not part of the 21 million, are you ?
NO.. I had insurance and have insurance. ACA caused my insurance costs to skyrocket. It is a bad law, the flaws were called out from day one. The name is misleading. It does nothing to make health care affordable and in fact increased the costs of healthcare for everyone except that 21 million you seem to be concerned about.

So why are the republicans stopping the Dems from correcting it and making it better?

Indeed he is.
With some hard work and bipartisan input, Obamacare could be fixed. But Trump and McConnell DID NOT seek input or help from the Democrats AT ALL.
Trump tweeted the other day about how "6 democrats run the senate" because his healthcare bill didn't pass. But Donald Trump refused to mention that those 6 democrats were NOT asked for input or amendments to the proposed bill.
I guess Trump just expected them to vote for something that they didn't agree with and weren't even asked if they had any recommendations?!

Because the law is a lemon. I don't want it fixed either. I want it replaced with a single payer system similar to what Australia has. Everyone is covered and everyone contributes. No hidden costs, very fair and very effective.
