BUT he refused to get rid of preexisting conditions rule (highly popular) while also getting rid of the individual mandate, which was understandably unpopular.

Problem is that you can't have both and expect costs to lower.

Which costs? Medicaid? Rolling back the 90 percent Fed gov share would save a ton of money.

What's the big deal about millions of Americans fleeing shitty Obamacare insurance policies? Many were coerced into buying them in the first place, at the threat of (who knows what) by the federal government. Tons of ignorant people flocked to the Internet to give Big Brother all of their personal information because they were scared of the consequences. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.

The problem is that the AHCA didn't address some of the major problems, and in fact, may have increased the likelihood of the "death spiral."
