The US is polarized with the republicans not wanting any socialized health care because they don't want to care for people not like them. You can't organize and correctly run a health care systems when half you politicians actively sabotage and burn it down.
Categorically, older individuals tend to vote more conservative and more republican. This doesn't make sense to me at all.
What makes more sense is that they argue against the socialization of any industry that funds their campaigns.
Democrats seem to take a more middle ground. ie Obamacare socialized low cost solutions and pushed costs uphill toward people who need more expensive care.
That's such an insane assumption to make.
