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?

Multiple reasons but the two big ones are .
Consevatives see economic struggles and character flaws.
Second and mkst inportantly they are the party of private buisiness interests and profiteering. They are the party of protecting the rich class, not of the interests kf the people.

On a smaller voter level. Many lower class conservarives just dont eant to see other people become equal to them or on a level playing field. They want to feel validated by having something others are denied. Even if it would also benefit them. For some it is conscious for others itnis subconcious.

@MethDozer Yes, reducing or eradicating poverty will sadly create an existential crisis for many conservatives.
