It's because the healthcare system is already being altered by Obamacare. There's damage that's been done that won't be undone simply by defunding the legislation. That leaves Repubs in a bit of a bind, I think. They have this hybrid healthcare system they have to find a way to deal with...and keeping some of the "Secretary shall determine" provisions open could give them a way to turn the law on its head if they gain power over Congress...put wiser policy measures into place through a "Secretary shall determine" provision.
