Let me put this another way...

Threatening to not fund cost-sharing reduction payments (Trump).
Woefully under funding risk corridors (Senator Rubio).
Taking Medicaid expansion (Republicans) to the conservative SCOTUS where they ruled states could opt out.

These 3 have destabilized the health insurance markets making insurance providers pull out and in addition cut off access for hundreds of thousands of citizens who would otherwise be eligible for Medicaid.

When Trump claims "Obamacare is dead" and when Mitch McConnell with other Republicans claim "Obamacare is failing" they conveniently don't tell you the role their party is playing to assure that this happens.

It's like not doing a tune up and not changing the oil in your car and then blaming the car for its failure.

I'll bet he's said those very words thousands of times and I'm not exaggerating.
However I have never once heard him explain *how* it's a disaster.

The fact is that the ACA program is a modified success and it could be even better.

However the GOP has worked tirelessly to kill it. If the ACA goes down it will be because the GOP killed it.
The insurance companies and medical facilities of the US are actually quite satisfied with how the ACA works.
They're not losing money and they are growing jobs. People's healthcare is taken care of, and nobody worries about getting medical bills paid.

Why can't Trump for once tell the truth? This program is not a disaster it's actually quite successful.
People for the most part are very happy with how it's working.
