Trump gives literally 0 shits about policy. He doesn't care what's in it. Is his ego that big where he just wants to "tear down" Obamacare because it's tied to Obama because he has a weird hatred of him? Rather than just get the glory of breaking a peace between both sides?

I don't think it's as simple as that. I'm sure there's a bit of "we'll oppose you no matter what" going on and a bit of "if we compromise in this area, then we lose support from others"

Literally Trump's entire presidency so far has been nothing but attempting to undo everything Obama has done.

Trump neither knows nor cares about health care policy. He offshores the job to GOP lawmakers and simply wants to put his name on the finished product.

Sounds a lot like how he runs his businesses.

Why would the Democrats work with a President whose objectives are the opposite of theirs and who's actively trying to undo everything they've tried to achieve the previous 8 years?

Why would Dems work with Trump on a new plan? They'd have to admit Obamacare is failing for that to happen.

There's issues and democrats have said they want to fix it. Hillary ran on that as well. Maybe you chose not to listen?

No, he's talking about a new plan, which Dems absolutely wouldn't do. What they want is to fix the problems with the existing law.

Because Republicans can't get 50 votes on their own, and their recent attempts at carving their own path had incredibly small public support.

The thing is, politically, pivoting from "repeal and replace" to "the party that fixed Healthcare" would be a real smart move.

Sure, they'd look a bit hypocritical but Republicans already do that on a pretty regular basis. Their consituents clearly want it, and their opponents would have little in the way of arguments against it. Sure they lied, but they also saved people lives. That's great political capital. They could hammer the Democrats with "ACA was shit until we came along and did it right" for years to come.

It'd be good for the people. It'd be good for their political standing. It'd put their enemies in a tight spot.

I can't see any clear reason why they wouldn't just do it...
