No one in government really repeals anything. They just over ride it, like the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting alcohol was never repealed, it was just nullified with a later Amendment. So these idiots that have been slamming on Ryancare are talking out of their ass and they know it. Obamacare was never going to be literally legally repealed. IT was going to lose it's worst features and be reformed.
But thank God Trump has not yet given up and still intends to fight to fix the ACA.
Trump signals new hope for ObamaCare overhaul, says 'Do not worry!'
In other words fuck Rand Paul and the Faux Freedom Caucus.
Pence is also still in the fight, of course, alongside his President.
Pence vows Trump will continue ObamaCare fight, calls out Democrats and Republicans
1. Obamacare collapses and no one does anything to fix it. Everybody loses if that happens, we have to reform it.
2. Obamacare eventually gets reformed either later this year or early next year.
3. Obamacare collapses and then the reform is done with lots of people in DC looking stupid, like the Freedom Caucus, who already look moronic.
No matter what happens, we will have 30 million people covered on health insurance that need help to get it.
We are not going to go back to people suffering from "pre-existing conditions" or inability to buy health insurance.

Trump signals new hope for ObamaCare overhaul, says 'Do not worry!'
Meanwhile, Trump appeared to already be turning his attention to tax reform and returning to his plan to allow ObamaCare to continue -- with the expectation that the 2010 health care law would implode amid increasing costs and few options for Americans.
Still, his tweet Saturday suggested a potential willingness to work on a bipartisan plan on overhauling ObamaCare -- albeit a scenario in which Democrats come to the GOP-controlled Congress to work together on improvements.

ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan on Saturday seemed open to such discussions, acknowledging that ObamaCare indeed has problems, including too few tax credits for poor Americans to help them pay for the insurance.
“ObamaCare is not perfect. We need to fix things” he said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “This is all fixable if we sit down as reasonable people.”
Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy told Fox News' "America's News Headquarters" on Saturday that he agrees with Trump's tweet, suggesting a bipartisan effort.

Pence vows Trump will continue ObamaCare fight, calls out Democrats and Republicans
Vice President Pence tried Saturday to deliver a pep-talk to Americans after fellow Republicans’ failed effort to overhaul ObamaCare -- admitting that members are “back to the drawing board” but vowing that President Trump will “keep fighting.”
Pence spoke in the aftermath of House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday cancelling the final vote for the ObamaCare replacement bill, upon concluding he didn’t have enough votes despite the chamber’s GOP majority.
The Republican congressman and the president, after announcing the cancellation, sounded as if efforts to fulfill campaign promises to repeal and replace the 2010 health care law were essentially finished.
Ryan publicly said Americans would be living with ObamaCare for the “foreseeable future,” while Trump simply told The New York Times, “It’s enough already.”
However, Trump and Pence on Saturday seemed to come back fighting.
“ObamaCare will explode, and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE,” Trump tweeted. “Do not worry!”
Pence later said at a business event in Charleston, West Virginia, that small-business owners in the state repeatedly tell him about the need to dismantle ObamaCare because it “stifles growth” and slows job creation.
“President Trump is never going to stop fighting to keep his promises to the American people,” he said
He also argued those who claimed victory in Republicans’ failure Friday are merely championing the status quo and said, “I promise you, that victory won’t last for long.”
