A Conservative is not “against” healthcare for all Americans. This conclusion implies that the only legitimate source for healthcare is Government. What a Conservative is against is this bill (soon to be law no doubt) because it makes more people dependent on the government for their wellbeing.
There are several ways to improve the healthcare market to lower costs, but they involve freeing doctors and insurance companies from burdensome regulation instead of creating a socialist “public option”. Universal healthcare would be an affront to human liberty and the value of human life.
