Where's the logic?

Older people are naturally going to have more pre-existing health conditions.

The Republicans are trying to remove pre-existing health insurance cover.

Older people are more likely to vote Republican than younger people.

Not to mention Social Security and Medicare...

All of those things require government to levy taxes and pay benefits to people who don't always pay taxes due to them being poor.

Republicans hate the concept of

Taxation
Giving things to people who can't pay
Unhealthy people (can't work to make the company money)
Supporting people outside of their immediate circle

Elderly want things to remain consistent from their youth, so they see it as 'conserving' their past.
