Here is the real reason the Republican plan sucks

They made up so many lies about the ACA as is rolled out and were never pressed on their reasoning for their objections. As people realized, while not perfect for everyone, the ACA was a vast improvement over the system that had evolved through constant Corporate Insurance Bloc manipulation they became immune to the many lies, or as I call them-Republican talking points.
Now it is evident the Republicans are totally beholden to the CIB, a fact easily found by following the money.
The lies no longer work and it is evident they had no intent to better the lives of any outside of themselves.
The American public has woken up and now can see a clearer path to REAL health care. Access to health care is slowly being accepted as a right and there will be no turning back to any previous reality that Republicans are trying to sell as "the good old days".

The GOP's ideas were empty talking-points, invented in the 1990s, intended to bash the healthcare-policy of the Clinton-administration. They never were supposed to be a policy or viable alternative.

Then the GOP started believing their own lies, during the GWB-years, that their talking-points were serious ideas with serious thought behind them.

And then the GOP put those ideas into healthcare-policy, totally oblivious to where these ideas originally came from and whether they are actually good ideas or not.
