Why is the House trying to repeal now?

But the Dems used reconciliation just to get it passed out of the senate. They don't like it when their tricks are/will be used against them.

No.  They used reconciliation to change the funding method of the original bill which passed the Senate with 60 votes and went through the House.  They could not have gotten the bill through by reconciliation and full repeal wouldnt get through reconiciliation either. 

But the mandate is a tax, so that can be dealt with as a budgetary matter and use reconciliation if necessary.

I suspect that during the week they vote on repeal there will be one or more GOP bills that are touted to replace the existing act.

How substantive do you think they will be? I expect they will float a bill with public relations items like interstate sales, tort reform, and various protections for not covering contraception and conscience exemptions, but nothing that would provide an actual framework for a health care systems or which address the issues associated with pre-existing conditions or low income.

I don't have any intelligence on that yet.
