Why do Republicans want to repeal Obamacare so much? Because it would be a big tax cut for the rich.
You can see that in the chart below from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. They crunched the numbers to figure out how much getting rid of Obamacare's taxes and tax credits would help or hurt people at different rungs of the income ladder, and the results were about what you'd expect. The bottom 40 percent are a good deal worse off, the middle 55 percent are mostly unaffected, and the top 1 percent would do pretty, pretty well. In fact, they'd get an average tax cut of around $32,820.
It's a reverse Robin Hood. It's taking tax subsidies from the poor to give as tax cuts to the rich. The starkest way to think about that is that the bottom 60 percent would get negative 61.1 percent of the total benefits of getting rid of Obamacare, while the top 1 percent would get 117.5 percent. That's right: the wealthiest would gain more than the country as a whole would, because the working class wouldn't be gaining anything at all. They'd be losing tax credits, and the health insurance those bought them.

Rescinding the Affordable Care Act means not only taking away health coverage from some 20 million Americans. It also means scrapping two big tax increases Democrats imposed on the wealthy to help pay for it all
Repealing Obamacares tax increases, which budget analysts put the neighborhood of $1 trillion, will also make Republicans tax-reform plans easier to finance.
Thats because it would effectively move the cost of doing things Republicans wanted to do anyway as part of tax reform into separate legislation. Killing the ACAs investment tax, for example, will reduce the total capital gains tax to 20 percent, from the current 23.8 percent. That will make it cheaper to approve additional cuts.

Republicans hate ethics, Power and Greed by any means necessary, having real death panels or no insurance you are going to die is OK because its not them, they have great insurance. Wall street and Government are clashing up to what happened in 1929. Republicans see they have a one time chance to take down ObamaCare, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, This is what they have been trying to do for decades, the window is already closing so they are going to screw most of America very quickly.
