Republican lawmakers have increased their efforts to find a replacement for Obamacare as they work hard to destroy the law, and the Supreme Court is currently deciding whether the law meets constitutional standards in a case that may make or break the Affordable Care Act.

The GOP is hoping that the Supreme Court will strike down subsidies to 7.5 million Americans in 34 states that have been required to purchased health insurance through Healthcare.gov, but even if Republicans are successful, they know they will be stuck with the question of what their replacement will be if they create a health care crisis, according to a New York Times report.

That’s why the GOP has begun to work on such a replacement to avoid a political firestorm so soon after sweeping to victory in the Senate and expanding their lead in the House in the 2014 midterm elections. Reps. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, John Kline of Minnesota, and Fred Upton of Michigan have proposed what they call an “off ramp” from Obamacare that would allow states to opt out of the ACA. In the Senate, lawmakers are offering a plan that would provide temporary assistance to those dependent on subsidies.

The plans are moot if the Supreme Court decides that the law is constitutional after all, although some of their ideas may persist even with an unfavorable decision.

Advocates of Obamacare have said that the Republicans’ proposals would simply set health care in the United States back to square one, and wouldn’t do anything to help people who are uninsured and sick people. If the party eliminates requirements that businesses offer insurance and for most Americans to have it, it would essentially kill the effectiveness of health care laws because healthy people wouldn’t buy into it.

However, the GOP argues that a detailed conservative alternative to Obamacare is coming, and the Republicans don’t intend to back down from a fight with the Obama administration on the issue.
