Why don't Republicans want us to have health insurance?

Before Obama came along, health insurance was alarmingly expensive. When my kids were still home, our health insurance premium cost nearly 1/3 of my husband's paycheck.

Then Obamacare and Medicaid expansion came along, and millions of Americans could finally afford coverage, many of whom had not seen a doctor in their whole lives.

But Republicans said, oh, no, we can't have that! Government doesn't belong meddling in health care! So once they stole power in 2016, they made it their life mission to dismantle the ACA, cut by cut until we have what we have today. Next they plan to make it more difficult to receive Medicaid. And NOW they want to take an axe to the mandate that all businesses who employ over (is it 30 or 50?) people that they must provide a minimum requirement health care plan! So, in essence, any employer of this size can just cut off its employees from company subsidized health insurance?? The thing is, all these cuts, and no plan or no talk of replacing them with anything else. Just, sorry Charlie, you're on your own. Don't get sick.

I honestly think that Republicans want us to all die off before we reach Medicare age, so they don't have to give us Medicare!
