Difficult to say. Repeal and replace is unlikely because the political risk is immense, but Democrats will accuse them of repealing the bill and killing people, which will probably work. At that point, what incentive will Republicans have to keep the ACA in tact at all? Only vulnerable Congressional Republicans will stand in the way of complete repeal. If few Republicans are vulnerable, repeal may happen.
The most likely scenario, imo, Republicans will gut the wealth redistribution aspects, reduce the comprehensive coverage threshold to make ACA more like catastrophic coverage, and repeal the onerous business taxes.
