You think republicans want to repeal obamacare because of some hate we/they have?

No. Why do you ask?

Repealing obamacare has everything to do with both preserving good healthcare and the economy and you're right that's why they were elected.

That's a view - but a minority one. Especially thinking it will worsen healthcare (that made me laugh). The bill is the law of the land. Has been for months. Public support for keeping it, or making it stronger, is the majority now that people realize "death panels" were a lie (Jan 17 2011 AP-GfK poll) It's already helped people. It's prevented sick children from rescission. It's gotten young people back insured on their parents insurance. It's already started to close the donut hole for some seniors, and decreased their drug costs for generics by 50%. It extends the Medicare Trust Fund by 12 years.
It will never be repealed. Why should it be? If there's something in there that isn't liked (like the 1099 provision) amend it.
The people have spoken. They didn't choose the Republican view. The GOP needs to get over it, and start working on jobs and the economy (but instead the first thing they do is change the definition of rape to the detriment of women!?)
