TBF, it's not that Republicans haven't been able to come up with a replacement; they haven't tried. They're not interested in improving the ACA, they want to eliminate it. They genuinely don't think Americans deserve healthcare unless they're rich, and the insurance companies can continue to profit.

‘Lots of people will actually die’: Health expert outlines consequences of letting ACA subsidies expire
The government reopened this week without a deal to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which has alarmed health care experts across the nation. “Lots of people will actually die because we don’t have universal coverage,” said University of Pennsylvania professor and former White House Health Policy Adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act and haven’t come up with a replacement…As president Trump famously says, he has concepts of ideas, concepts of a plan, that’s not a plan.”
