Democrats criticize GOP for moving forward on repeal of Obamacare

Because they don't have a consensus on a replacement, I guess like the consensus they had when they deemed the bill to pass 100% bipartisan in the dead of night.
Bwahahahahahahahah, is this real life???? Elections have consequences.

Just get rid of it and get out of the way of the market already.

If the bill is undoubtedly harming more people than repealing it would, repeal it without delay.
If you have a better option (that you can pass), go ahead and pass it.
But repealing and delaying the repeal is cowardly. Let's hope this election doesn't have the consequences of denying millions of Americans access to healthcare, and subsequently killing thousands - all because Republicans are cowards.

We've got to repeal it to find out what replaces it

Republicans should just say that we have to repeal Obamacare to know what we're going to replace it with, like how we needed to pass it so that we knew what was in it.

Politically, this is a landmine for both sides.
First, Republicans don't want to have to suddenly revoke 11.3 million American citizens of healthcare without an alternative; but on the flip side, any delay will be seen by hard-line Republicans are backing away from a core election statement.
Democrats need to either fully let go of Obamacare (acknowledging it to the rest of the country that it was a failure), offer up a legitimate fix (that, as highly unlikely as it is, could take care of points from both sides), or staunchly defend it, for all it's warts and scars.
The BEST solution is to come up with either a transitory period, giving those who signed up for the ACA to find an alternative, OR a bipartisan solution to keep something akin to the ACA that is mutually acceptable to both sides.
Considering the current climate in Washington, ANYTHING being bipartisan, no matter what is best for the actual country, is highly unlikely.

At least we won't have to pass it to know what's in it.
Leftists had that crap written long before the dear leader took office.

There's gonna be a lot of surprised Trump voters that get hit by a repeal of the ACA. Elections have consequences, as they say.

They don't realize that high deductibles and large copays result in unaffordable healthcare. What good is insurance when you can't afford it?

Chuck Schumer put it best earlier, "they're like the dog that caught the bus." The GOP has no idea what to do with healthcare now that it's theirs to fix. Repeal and?
