PPPPP, profit is not the only thing not mentioned in this article. A far more egregious omission is that the American attitude is changing rapidly right now. I would argue that this article captures something of the thought behind Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, but misses entirely the far more important shift in the broader populace as a result of that Republican effort now they have control of the US government. 

Slowly the American populace is waking up to the fact that they have been lied to about Obamacare, which, now that it is too late to affect their votes, more that 50% of the population wants retained and fixed. That is progress. Slowly the populous is moving towards the notion of universal care (or a reasonable facsimile of same). Once one opts for the inherent justice of universal care as a given, the notion of single payer (in one form or another) is quickly recognized as the lest expensive version. 

How long? If they're lucky, when they dump Trump.
