Not true.

It's been an enormous success.

It has provided health coverage to 20 million people.

It's massively reduced the cost of health coverage for low-income families.

It's reduced the rates of uninsured by half among blacks and whites and by a quarter among Hispanics.

It's allowed people with expensive, chronic illnesses to get treatment.

It will help keep overall health costs down in the future.

It's had no negative impact on the employer health care system.

It's done all this without raising the deficit ... in fact, it's cut the deficit.

Nearly every single aspect of the ACA is not just popular, but very popular.

Does it have some problems?

Sure it does.

Some regions don't have enough competition.

Deductibles are too high if you choose to purchase a bronze plan.

And, a small segment of the population has been hit with steep premium increases.

But, those problems are affecting 10% of Obamacare at most.

90% is working spectacularly well.

There are several aspects of Obamacare that improved the situation, like the basic requirements for insurers, which put some sleazy companies out of business because they didn't meet the new standards; like allowing college-age students to stay on their parents' policies; like covering people with pre-existing conditions...(some of these were dreamed up by the insurance companies to avoid paying claims).  What Republicans propose is no different from what they've come up with in the past:  "vouchers" for coverage...good luck with that...buying across state lines, which would solve nothing.  In addition, they're going after Medicaid and, although it's on hold for now...eventually they'll try to diminish or dump Medicare...and they're already trying to reduce Social Security benefits by raising the age limit and allowing investors to raid the SS Trust Fund.

Yes, Sal, just another stellar contribution to the supposed conversation from our illustrious Markle, who has nothing to say whenever he's bested by truth and reason.

[...]

The poll also found that voters in both parties support repealing the Affordable Care Act as long as people are allowed to keep their plans during a “realistic, modest transition period to get a new system up and running.”

Forty-eight percent of Democratic voters support the idea of repealing the law with a transition period, compared to 43 percent who reject the idea. Among Republicans, there was 88 percent support for this option, and among Independents there was 72 percent support, according to the poll.

A majority of voters, 54 percent, said Obamacare needs to be repealed or have major changes made to it.

The most common cause of dissatisfaction with the law was that it made health care too expensive (44 percent). Other reasons voters stated were that the law was forced on them (15 percent), that it does not work (12 percent), and that “Obama lied” (4 percent).

It's a "lie" if you trust advertisement-stuffed wingnut blogs, such as the source quoted from. Remember your very own words:
