They tried from March to July 20217 to kill it off, or just cripple the ACA so badly it would die on it's own. Republicans finally gave up and moved on to giving the massive tax cut for the rich that they just passed to renew.

The HCFA was another McConnell hit job to finally kill the ACA. I'll rejoice my ass off when that POS vapor locks.

Yeah...all their versions were the ACA with failure built into them if passed.
