Senator Dean Heller, a Nevada Republican up for re-election in 2018, declined to say whether he believes the GOP plan will cover as many people as Obamacare.

"I would anticipate nobody’s going to lose their health care for the next two or three years until the replacement is put in place. I think that’s pretty fair," he said.

And after two or three years?

"That’s a lot of prospective thinking," Heller said. "You can ask me in two or three years."

Very fair point, and it's another distraction. There will be challenges to his appointment which will suck up some air. There was a challenge to Hillary's appointment to lead the Health Care Reform Task Force back in the 90s that I think was heard in the DC Circuit (it was mentioned in the NPR link I posted earlier).
