Parts of it. Like I said the Medicaid expansion would remain and insurers would be required to offer packages that cover pre-existing conditions... but they would be killing the "Affordable" part of the "Afforable Care Act". There's also the chance that whatever they come up with won't pass muster with the senate parliamentarian and not be eligible to be classified under reconciliation and require the 60 vote minimum.
I halfway wonder if they don't do that so that they can use it as a rallying cry for the 2018 midterms (But that's likely to conspiratorial).
