You don't realize that with the ACA, besides the subsidies for the private insurance plans sold on the government exchanges, a family of 4 that makes less than $24,000 is eligible for "Expanded Medicaid". Thirty one states participate in this. The Federal Government picks up 90% of the cost, the participating state 10%. There are about 11 million people on that. So add the 11 million to the 10 million and you get 21 million losing their health insurance right away. From the link:

The latest analysis, from the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, finds that Cassidy-Graham would reduce the number of Americans with insurance by about 21 million through 2026. But after that, another 11 million would lose coverage, for a total of 32 million additional uninsured.

But since it seemed to KEEP at least 75% of what obamacare was, did it DESERVE to pass...

there is too much animosity over this issue. its not like it was with medicare/medicaid in the late 1960's where there was some bipartisanship over that issue.

I hope you are wrong but you are probably right. Certainly Obamacare has its problems. Are they fixable? I don't know but I would hope that a bipartisan committee could be put together to work as one to try to fix the problems. Trumpcare would have been a huge disaster in my opinion.

Time for the President to move on and focus on other issues -- tax reform and the budget for starters. North Korea. Not the NFL

That's extreme wishful thinking. The issues you list are things that concern the American people, nut just Twitler's delicate sensibilities.
