(CNN)Republican lawmakers are in the dark about President-elect Donald Trump's plan to repeal Obamacare and are frustrated he is emphasizing "insurance for everybody," three senior GOP sources told CNN on Tuesday.

Those sources said Republicans are working on a strategy to dismantle and replace the law in pieces.

The comments come after Trump told The Washington Post this weekend that he is nearly done crafting a plan that has "insurance for everybody" as its goal, although his transition team quickly walked back those remarks Monday.

Lawmakers want to focus on lowering costs, not expanding coverage, which is one of the Democrats' main talking points. They are very wary of discussing how many people would be insured under their plan, aware that many Americans are concerned they'll lose their coverage under a would-be GOP overhaul. Instead, they are emphasizing more people will have access to more affordable policies.

1. He has no plan. He is preparing to deny responsibility for when the republican replacement fails.

If it works, he will say that it was his idea all along.
If it fails, he will say that it failed because the Republicans didn't adopt his ideas.

4. He'll still have to sign something

That puts it on him.

5. 'more access" does not mean people can afford to buy.

3. Tom Price has been "kept out of the process"

For fear that he would be "asked questions".

They are so messed up.
What's wrong with questions if the plan is so "beautiful"?

6. because it's 'fake news' trump is intellectually incapable of putting together 'his plan'

he has no experience in politics or medicine...he's lying.

7. There is only one plan that would cover everyone

and have a large enough pool to pay for it.

Not going to happen with this congress.
