That is the Washington Post, not the times and that is not the first new health care bill introduced by Republicans, just the first to make it to Obama. 

But the insurance companies have benefitted far more from ACA than any person using their new insurance. That was supposed to be the case until the government didn't help out nearly as much as promised. Now that insurance companies know how much assistance they'll actually receive, up go the rates. I think many have already said that it's intentional sabotage to get a single payer system from Democratic leadership. That's their end goal imo.

How exactly have the insurance companies benefited from the ACA when they say they are not making money and leaving the marketplace..  It really cannot work both ways.  Do not forget the government is not just made of up the federal but also the states and how many of those Republican states have tried to underfund the ACA.  Instead of giving it a chance to succeed they have done did everything they could to make it not work.  Not because it is a bad plan but because it was put into place by a president they have tried to undermine since he came into Office.

In the original ACA, the single payer was in their but of course getting that through congress was never going to happen for the first pass.

Big companies benefitted with ACA because they were promised assistance with the government (which has largley fallen through) and were millions of new customers. As far as undercutting or trying to replace ACA, I think you're being disingenious if you believe that Obama is the only reason it was opposed. It was an unpopular bill at the time and even more unpopular as time passes.
