The main reason that the GOP is against everyone having a right to health care is that they view sick people who get help with premiums or people on Medicaid or MEDICARE OR VA as moochers and takers. If you drill into their core beliefs that belief is prevalent. GOPPER also believe the minorities and disabled people should get less because they are a drain on the economy.
Their underlying attack on progressives and Democrats is they GIVE AWAY FREE STUFF others have to pay for. Their politics of resentment is a strong wedge issue to create animosity between Americans.
