I think a lot of Conservatives are very angry that people are getting assistance paying for their

health insurance.

I always see it referenced that people are getting healthcare off the backs of everyone else. For example, this comment:

The majority of the people using Obamacare are probably the ones who list the insurance they were happy with!! And the rest of us who were insured are paying for the ones who are enjoying it. Your welcome

I know it re-enforces the "Libs think they are smarter" brainwashing but I swear 1/2 the Republicans have no critical thinking skills.

Liberal folks are willing to let 1 person "mooch" if it helps 100. Conservatives are willing to let 100 people suffer if it keeps 1 person from "mooching".

And you can trace their animosity back to the early days of FDR.

That's what it boils down to. The rich are hoarding wealth and their addiction is destroying the planet, and the GOP are the party of, by, and for the rich.
