McConnell stated its on their priority list for a repeal.
Wonder if Trump is going to change some parts of it, or nix it entirely

Be a bit more fair. Trump has pointed out specific problems with the ACA and specific solutions that even liberals agree with.If he keeps it largely the same but patches up even 3 of the major holes, why shouldn't it be counted as a victory for him? This is pretty much what he's said on multiple occasions, too.
Well, in my opinion, insulin and the things you need to pay for it are affordable, completely out of pocket.
And based on how the ACA plans work, you would save much more money JUST NOT BUYING a plan and paying for your insulin and medicine. Isn't that ridiculous?
What about actually having the plan? Well, then there's the stupidly ridiculously high deductible (money you have to pay out of pocket before your plan kicks in and starts paying out to cover your expenses) that you have to meet. So you're basically far far far far better off just not buying the piece of shit plan to begin with. But if you don't buy it? Guess what...you get a huge fine.
Remember when ACA was just about passed and I read through 900+ pages (at the time, the draft of it was over 900 pages (not including indices)) and I pointed out 8 glaring problems with the ACA on Facebook? I knew this legislation was shit before he become law. And sometimes people, and I even bought into it, tried to say that the GOP sabotaged the ACA and ruined the best parts. But that's just not true. The bad parts of the ACA were not things the GOP forced into it. It was stuff dem idiots put into it.
He has specifically talked about solutions such as opening the markets and forcing competition: one of the biggest problems with how ACA is handled, now. He has talked about giving people tax breaks for their plan costs. He talked about price transparency from insurance providers so we can quickly call out corruption, artitifical costs, etc. (increase oversight). And he's mentioned black-grant medicaid to states. Where did I hear all of these things? In the debates with Hillary. There are other things he probably mentioned outside the debates and I may be forgetting 2 or 3 other things he said in those debates.
But he was specific about the problems. And he mentioned specific solutions.
If the creators are credible, I usually reserve some benefit of doubt that there's a catch or nuance somewhere.
