Republicans voted 70 times to eliminate Affordable Healthcare (Obama Care) to millions of Americans with Pre-existing conditions, and wasted Millions of tax payers dollars in the process. They constantly used the term “Repeal & Replace” but never offered any replacement for the millions of people who would have become uninsured as a result of their actions.

Republicans core belief is “limited government” so they never had any real intentions of “Repealing & Replacing” the Affordable Care Act. They believe it’s not the governments responsibility to help citizens have healthcare, social security, medicare or similar programs. If they could, they would ELIMINATE all of these programs. They want to privatize everything, including the postal service. Republican Lobbyist Grover Norquist is a well-known proponent of “limited government” and famously said, “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast]

Republicans hated “Obamacare” because they hated Obama

 

President Obama and Democrats passed the Affordable Healthcare Act better known as Obamacare. One of the things the Affordable Healthcare Act addressed is making insurance companies accept people with preexisting conditions.
