They're looking to cause an additional over 30,000 deaths per year by eliminating the Affordable Care Act entirely.

Obamacare has already saved the lives of 90,000 people – David Burghoff
Of course Conservatives will trot out their "the poor shouldn't get care if they can't afford it" narrative which is a veiled way of saying "let's kill the poor but passively and not actively."
Justice Department now says courts should strike the entire ACA - Axios
The Justice Department now says the courts should strike down the entire Affordable Care Act — not just its protections for pre-existing conditions. The department signaled its new, broader position in a legal filing Monday, part of a lawsuit challenging the law's individual insurance mandate.
Why it matters: A ruling striking down the entire ACA would upend major parts of the health care system. Millions of people would lose their health care coverage, and a host of seemingly unrelated policies — including new experiments in how Medicare pays for care and an entire class of prescription drugs — would also go out the window.
How it works: A federal judge ruled in December that the ACA's individual mandate has become unconstitutional, because of the way Republicans zeroed out the penalty for being uninsured.
