A lot of Republicans want to repeal and thrown in the trash can. Many others realize if they take away 20 million people's health insurance overnight there would be a huge backlash. Trump seems to realize this. It seems like he might be genuinely thinking about the best way to go about this in order to get the best coverage/care/deal while getting rid of the bad parts of Obamacare.

Of course, it all comes down to how well they will lower/control the costs of the actual healthcare. If they can't keep the costs from going up, then any program they put forward will likely fail.
