So reading the Connections Section of the Mystic class I see that for the Healer Connection it reads:

"Spells: 1st—6th mystic cure; replaced by 1st—lesser remove condition, 2nd—remove condition, 3rd—remove affliction, 4th— restoration, 5th—greater remove condition"

"REPLACE"

Am I understanding this correctly that Mystic Healers lose Mystic Cure and that it's replaced by Remove Spells?


It's explained in the "Connection Spell" class feature part of the class.

Starfinder Core Rulebook, page 83 wrote:
If your connection lists a single variable-level spell (see page 330) for all spell levels at the start of its spells entry, you gain that variable-level spell when you first get your connection spell for each level. The next time you gain a connection spell, add the next higher level of the variable-level spell to your list of spells known. You immediately lose the lower-level version of that variable-level spell and replace it with the listed connection spell for that lower level.

One thing to remember is that if you know Mystic Cure as a 2nd-level spell, you can cast its 1st-level version too. Think of it like the Undercasting mechanic found in Occult Adventures.

So to be clear. At 1st level you get Mystic Cure 1sr. At level 4 you replace Mystic Cure 1st with Mystic Cure 2nd and get Lesser Remove Condition as a bonus spell. You can use a level 2 slot to cast Mystic Cure 2nd or a level 1 slot to cast Mystic Cure 1st. At level 3 you lose Mystic Cure 2, Gain Mystic Cure 3, and gain Remove Affliction. And so on.

It is actually quite good because you will always have the best cure spell without having to waste spells known swaps.
