Question: Why don’t more Republicans push toward healthcare?

As all of you know, I consider myself to be a progressive—or a “deform” Republican. I believe in healthcare for many different reasons, but my main reasoning is this: I think healthcare can play an important role in ending human trafficking. By dedicating a significant portion of it to helping victims who’ve been trafficked, we could give them access to free human services and therapy.

I’m just kind of curious—Republicans, or even conservatives (though I’m not a conservative, I am a Republican)—why don’t more of you talk about this?

Republicans are for billionaires and don't want healthcare for us.

@1930sfan But you're a very small minority in the modern Republican party. Mitt Romney wasn't as progressive, but he did support an early version of the ACA, which brought down healthcare cost. However, the party has shifted so far Right, Romney is seen as an outsider now.

@1930sfan the republican party in Teddy's day was unrecognizably different then the GOP that exists today.
