They could but a failure on this mangnitute will likely force them to focus on other things to correct path and heal public image. If they came around with the same goal in even a matter of years, it would be perceived as treading ground, aiming for the same doomed goal over and over again. They want a long list of successes, not one phallic victory, so they'll probably look to softer targets.
Apparently the Trump administration and Ryan have both admitted as such, and they will move on to other things while blaming other people for their own shortsightedness (seriously, how could they spend 7 years bitching and screaming over ACA and not actually come up with anything better?). ACA obviously needs to change, as do many things in our society, but it needs to change in a way that doesn't bring immediate or long-term harm to the people who need it.
