According to an analysis of what is expected to be included in the partial ACA repeal bill by the Urban Institute:
Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) claim that no one will be worse off after the ACA is repealed is a flat out fantasy.

The uninsured rate will actually be higher than when George W. Bush left office. When Bush departed the White House, 46.3 million Americans lacked health insurance. After the Republican repeal of the ACA takes effect 58.7 million Americans won’t have health insurance.
The Urban Institute also projects that even if Republicans limit themselves to repealing the individual mandate, they will cause significant disruption in the insurance market. These numbers are why Republicans backed away from their original plan to repeal and replace the ACA right after Trump takes office.
Republicans are going to make the health care access issue worse than it was under George W. Bush.
