This is a take that lacks any nuance and it doesn't even pertain to what anyone said. Typical for conservatives.
No one is saying we need to provide healthcare for literally $0 and pretend it has no costs. No, most realize our current cobbled together system with middlemen everywhere isn't working and it's costing lives. Why we can't have a single payer system that gets rid of the paperwork and makes it easier to bargain against prices is beyond me.
Sure, let's keep this system where you have to worry about in/out network hospitals, jump through a bunch of hoops to get treatment, and middlemen causing prices to surge. Madness.
Ever done any work for a US health insurance company? You won't find many conservatives. You will find many "free lunch" advocates who spend half their day lobbying to protect their job and their industry. They are playing politics with your healthcare costs. How is that for nuance?
It's great and even more reason to get rid of these useless corporations. The conservative thing to me was the basic take "ummm actually it's not free" which lacks any actual thought. It doesn't further the discussion and perpetuates the suffering all to... own the libs? I'm not sure.
The "libs" who lobbied for so-called universal healthcare? They further empowered these corporations and now they want to get rid of them. The libs owned themselves on this topic, obviously.
The ACA was substantially watered down to get (conservative!) Lieberman's deciding vote in the Senate. "The libs", as always, were told they'd have to wait later for their stuff.
