Happy obamacare is going away; not so happy about the continued use of "executive orders". These may as well be edicts. Executive orders are there to fill in the gaps in legislation, not dictate whatever the president wants to do.
To be fair, Obamacare was built on executive orders so it seems right (and efficient) to remove it the same way. I agree though, they should really repeal it by nullifying those orders in the first place and limiting the power of executive orders.
